| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | You favour L1: Ekko has no armed stun and eats your Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | You favour L2: your E-Q short trades beat his weak early setup. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | You favour L3: you punish him before Parallel Convergence is reliable. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even L4-5: his W stun and burst come online to match you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Even L6: Chronobreak can reset a lost trade, making it a skill window. |
| First item | Yasuo | You favour 1st item: Kraken/Shieldbow DPS beats his single Q-E burst. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | You favour 2+ items: your knockup DPS outraces his combo once E/R are down. |
Ekko has no reliable early stun until his W field arms, so at levels 1-3 you win short trades with E-Q and outrange his Timewinder poke.
