Early game (levels 1–5)

Ekko has the edge in the early levels: his blink and W stun let him weave through Lux's Q and close the gap, and if he lands his own combo he snowballs off her immobility. Lux must play respectfully, hold Q for his dash, and farm carefully rather than trade into him. Any missed Q leaves her badly exposed to his all-in.
