| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ekko | Level 1 favors Ekko: his Q poke out-trades a comboless Veigar. |
| Level 2 | Ekko | Level 2 stays Ekko's with continued harass and mobility. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is Ekko's as E Phase Dive lets him pick sticky trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5: before Veigar has his ult combo. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: Ekko's dash-in lands him in Event Horizon for a free stun-kill. |
| First item | Veigar | First item stays Veigar's as stacked Q makes the combo a one-shot through Chronobreak. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | At 2+ items Veigar wins — any Ekko engage dies to E-W-R on contact. |
Levels 1-4 lean Ekko — his Q poke and E dash mobility let him pick trades you can't answer, so soak XP, last-hit with Q and never stand where his W can be pre-placed on you. Track Ekko Chronobreak: matchup-defining — 110s at rank 1 (50s at rank 3); it erases your kill and bursts back, so save the final damage for after it.
