Read from Viktor's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
This is Viktor's own plan; across 6,511 pooled games the lane is leaning Ekko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You poke Ekko freely at level 1 as he steps into E range to farm. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays yours since he must commit to CS and eat your trade. |
| Level 3 | Viktor | At level 3 your E max keeps him off the wave with the shield advantage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Through levels 4-5 you shove and out-trade him before he has ult. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 Chronobreak lets him dive and rewind, answered by your CC, a skill window. |
| First item | Ekko | His first-item plus R spike makes him a lane bully who can all-in and escape. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | At two items your zone stun-locks his short combo before Chronobreak matters. |
You have the early edge. Ekko must walk into your E range to farm and to land his Timewinder slow, and with Siphon Power up you win the extended trades before he has ult to undo his mistakes. Keep the wave pushing so he takes poke just to last-hit, and deny him the free stacking he wants. Track Chronobreak: 110s at rank 1, 50s at max — erases your kill and heals him; save final damage for after it.
