MATCHUPCassiopeia · Mid · Patch 26.16 · Ranked Solo · Updated Aug 24, 2026

Cassiopeia vs Ekko in Mid lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.16. The one thing to respect: his W stun zone — it shields him and stuns you if you're caught inside. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it
DO
Stay out of his W
Parallel Convergence shields him and stuns anyone inside — it telegraphs a second early, so step out (or W/R him out of it).
Punish his E on CD
His E is outranged by your Q and W, and once it's down he's very vulnerable — auto and poison him while it's on cooldown.
Fish max-range Q
His Q slows after 700 units, so poke from max range — he can't reach you without extra MS or Rocketbelt.
DON'T
Never sit inside his W — that stun is what sets up his entire combo.
