How to win lane as Pantheon against Ekko · 54.34% win rate over 438 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Level 1 you bully a fragile, clunky Ekko at melee range. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 he can't punish your step-ups and must hop away early. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 E-block plus W-stun win every trade before his kit scales. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Levels 4-5 you all-in whenever his short E hop is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Level 6 R Grand Starfall still lets you commit and burst him before Chronobreak matters. |
| First item | Ekko | On first item his W stun, E dash, and Chronobreak flip the trades to him. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | Two-plus items Ekko out-scales and one-shots you behind a rewind safety net. |
Levels 1-2 you bully a fragile Ekko: walk up, soak his Q Timewinder on E, and force him to hop away with E Phase Dive before he wants to. He has no way to punish your melee pressure this early.
