How to play it

✓

His R cancels your kill

Crescent Guard lets him knock you off and blunt your burst just as you try to land W: he escapes instead of dying.

✓

Fight levels 3-6

Your realistic window is levels 3-6; outside that, shove him in and deny rather than duel.

✓

Perma-shove, don't duel

Push him under turret and farm: he's one of the strongest duelists in the game, so don't trade him straight up.

✕

Never duel him on even items: he stomps you and can still win the game after the early phase.

Ekko vs Xin Zhao in Mid lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his ult disengages you right as you commit, he peels out the moment you go for a W and you can't finish.
