Ekko, The Boy Who Shattered Time, has arrived in Wild Rift and brought along his roster of time-altering gadgetry. Ekko is an assassin champion who deals heavy amounts of magic damage to enemies. Although squishy in the early game, he quickly becomes a playmaker like no other by the mid to late stages of the match.
Ekko is a champion with a very high skill ceiling, and players uninitiated with his skills and abilities will have a hard time mastering his playstyle. However, when played to his strengths, he can deal a lot of burst damage and move around the map with ease. Before wephase diveinto his items, builds, and combos, let’s get familiar with his skills.
Ekko’s Skills
Passive: Z-Drive Resonance
Everythirdattack, or damaging ability, will dealbonus damageto the target. If the target is an enemy champion, Ekko also gainsbonus movement speedfor 2.5 seconds. This cannot affect the same target for the next five seconds. The easiest way to proc this passive is to ensure you hit the enemy twice with his Timewinder ability.
Ability 1: Timewinder
Ekko throws aprojectilein the target direction. Upon hitting an enemy or reaching the distance limit, it dealsmagic damageandslowsenemies in an AoE. Then, it returns to Ekko, dealing damage on it’s return.
Ability 2: Parallel Convergence
Ability 3: Phase Dive
Ekkodashesin a target direction. His next attack with the next three seconds causes him toblinkto his target and dealbonus magic damage. This ability is great for movement, as Ekko can dash and blink through walls. He can also target vision wards to blink away from or toward enemies.
Ultimate: Chronobreak
Ekko leaves a shadow of himself that trails him wherever he goes. Every player on the map can see this shadow. The shadow that he leaves behind is Ekko’s position from 3.5 seconds ago. When hitting his ultimate, Ekko becomesuntargetable,healsa part of his missing health, and returns to the position of the shadow. Upon arrival, he dealsmagic damageto nearby enemies.
Best Ekko Combo
Ability 2 (Parallel Convergence) > Ability 3 (Phase Dive) > Ability 1 (Timewinder) > Ability 3 (Phase Dive) > Basic Attack
The best way to make the most out of Ekko is to proc his passive ability to constantly deal bonus magic damage to enemies. Use Parallel Convergence over enemies, then use Phase Dive to quickly enter the sphere. As it explodes, it will stun the enemies caught within. Then, use Timewinder to damage and slow enemies, and follow up with another Phase Dive to keep up with fleeing opponents.

Best Ekko Item Build
Ekko benefits from AP items.Luden’s Echois a good item to build first, as it helps with his wave-clearing abilities, boosts his magic damage, and grants cooldown. Follow it up withLich Bane, as the passive from this item pairs well with Ekko’s Phase Dive. For the rest, go for a heavy AP build with items likeRabadon’s DeathcapandVoid Staff. For boots, pick upIonian Boots of Lucidityfor extra ability cooldown, then buy theStasis Enchant.
