Summary
Items
Early game
Doran's Ring allows you to be aggressive at the beginning of the game while benefiting from a good mana regeneration and more life.
Boots
Sorcerer's Shoes are essential for any assassin with magic damage to maximize the impact of spells. However, opt for the Mercury Treads when facing many opponents who also use magic damage, or Ninja Tabi against a predominantly physical composition.
Core items
- Hextech Protobelt-01 offers all the necessary stats for Ekko: hit points, mana, power and above all an active that allows you to leap forward to ensure that the enemy champion is within range of E - Phase Dive.
- Lich Bane is very useful for its statistics such as Power, Mana and movement speed. But on Ekko, the interest lies above all in the passive. It inflicts additional magic damage on the next automatic attack, after casting a spell, which is in perfect symbiosis with E - Phase Dive.
- Zhonya's Hourglass allows you to position yourself much more aggressively during a teamfight. This active makes you untargetable for a few seconds, so give your ultimate hologram more time to get closer to you, who are in the middle of your opponents, to ensure a sublime R - Chronobreak.
- Void Staff and Rabadon's Deathcap are two must-have items to maximize the damage you deal. One ignores a significant part of your opponents' magical resistance while the other drastically increases your power.
Match-ups
Tips & Tricks
- R - Chronobreak, Ekko's ultimate weapon. It allows you to go back 4 seconds and thus take aggressions that would normally be to your disadvantage.
- E - Phase Dive is the tool for initiation and escape, provided you have a target or wall within range. The recovery time being long at the beginning of the game, be careful not to use it just anyhow.
- Passive - Z-Drive Resonance is used to inflict damage and increase movement speed. If you are able to use it you can use this bonus movement speed to disengage or re-engage.
- Q - Timewinder slows down enemies close to the projectile. Use it to ensure you hit E - Phase Dive and apply Passive -Z-Drive Resonance to maximize your damage.
- W - Parallel Convergence has a Passive that deals additional damage to targets at less than 30% of their life. Feel free to hunt champions with low health to secure eliminations.
- Use W - Parallel Convergence in combination with Zhonya's Hourglass. Launch W - Parallel Convergence and move into the area of it to use the Zhonya's Hourglass active. Once stasis is complete, W - Parallel Convergence should activate and stun all enemies around you.
