Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
This is Syndra's own plan; across 6,247 pooled games the lane is leaning Ekko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | At level 1 you out-range Ekko's Q and poke him while he can only farm melee. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 your longer Q keeps chipping him with no way for him to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | At 3 your QE stun punishes his W setup and he can't all-in until 6. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 you shove and poke freely against an engage-less Ekko. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your E peels his level 6 all-in and forces Chronobreak as a defensive escape. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item burst chunks him past Chronobreak's save threshold and wins tempo. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Your self-peel E and roam tracking beat his pick potential even into the late game. |
You have the range edge at 1-2: Ekko is melee-range on his auto and his Q is shorter than your 800-unit sphere, so poke him freely and punish every last-hit. Shove the first waves into him and deny his Timewinder returns while he has no way to trade back. Track Ekko Chronobreak: 110s at rank 1, 50s at rank 3 — erases your kill and bursts back; save final damage for after the hologram.
