| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Fragile pre-6 Ekko loses the level-1 pack trade. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | At 2 you keep trade priority over his weak early poke. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | E-Q punishes him whenever his Phase Dive is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Your all-in beats his mid-game body before R value spikes. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | Call of the Pack bursts him past Chronobreak's heal. |
| First item | Naafiri | First-item burst one-combos him before his passive ramps. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | Item-backed E, W, and R reset let Ekko juke and undo your burst. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Ekko is a fragile melee with a slow W setup, so your packmates and Q bleed win the early trades before his kit comes online.
