How to win lane as Taliyah against Ekko · 48.7% win rate over 577 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Taliyah | You win level 1: Ekko is a weak early laner and your Q out-pokes his Timewinder. |
| Level 2 | Taliyah | At level 2 he still can't engage safely, so your harass keeps him back. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Level 3 gives you the W-E combo to punish his Phase Dive step-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Through levels 4-5 you hold control since he can't out-trade your kill threat. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | Level 6 favours Ekko: Chronobreak lets him all-in and reset out of your combo. |
| First item | Ekko | First item swings it back to you as you out-poke and out-shove his slow clear. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | With two items you out-roam and out-poke him, keeping the lane lead. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Ekko is one of the weakest early laners, so poke him with Q, deny his passive stacks, and keep the wave where he can't all-in.
