Read from Twisted Fate's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
This is Twisted Fate's own plan; across 3,503 pooled games the lane is leaning Twisted Fate.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Ekko's Timewinder poke and W-zoning let him control trades before your cards come online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | He keeps the level-2 edge with continued poke and stun-trade setups into your squishy body. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Levels 3-5 lean skill as your roam pressure offsets his poke when you dodge his W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | The 4-5 window stays contestable if you shove and avoid his Parallel Convergence zone. |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Chronobreak at 6 turns his dive into a low-risk all-in that escapes your Gold Card punish. |
| First item | Ekko | Ekko one-combos you on first item and his rewind makes him near-impossible to pin. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two-plus items it's a skill matchup decided by your flank picks versus his combo engage. |
Ekko wins the opening levels: Timewinder poke and his Parallel Convergence zoning let him control the trade tempo before your Pick A Card and Wild Cards are online. Take Blue Card for mana and use Wild Cards to shove and secure CS, keeping the wave pushing so he can't set a stun-trade freeze on you. Track Chronobreak: 110s at rank 1, 50s at rank 3 — track the hologram and save your final damage for after the rewind.
