How to win lane as Qiyana against Ekko · 50.24% win rate over 1,053 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | You out-trade his low-damage, un-armed level 1. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 his W stun still isn't online to punish you. |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 W-E-Q beats his defensive-only kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Through 4-5 you dodge his poke and dive on his E cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | Your R-into-wall bursts him at 6 whenever Chronobreak is down. |
| First item | Qiyana | First-item burst out-damages a pre-Zhonya's Ekko. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | Two-item Ekko rewinds your all-in and out-teamfights your single target. |
You edge the opening levels. Ekko's early damage is low and his W stun takes three seconds to arm, so a disciplined walk-up beats him. Dodge Timewinder, punish when his Phase Dive is spent, and set up slow-push all-ins before he has the tools to trade back.
