Z-Drive Resonance cannot affect the same target twice within 5 seconds. P

Ekko Tips and Tricks

In team fights, look to flank the enemy using your W from the fog of war, then engage just as it activates. If your team is not in a position to follow up, avoid diving in alone. When approaching a lane, place your W behind the enemy to increase the chances of landing the stun. While moving to your next jungle camp, use W along the way to gain a shield and mitigate incoming damage.

Most Popular

A strong Ekko jungle setup includes Flash and Smite as Summoner Spells. The optimal rune choice consists of Dark Harvest as the keystone, followed by Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Treasure Hunter in the primary tree, with Cosmic Insight and Magical Footwear in the secondary tree. Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling are the preferred rune shards, though they can be adjusted based on the matchup. The recommended build starts with Hextech Rocketbelt, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Lich Bane. The final three items include Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Void Staff. The best ability order is Q - E - W.

Alternative

Another effective build also runs Flash and Smite, with the same rune setup using Dark Harvest, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Treasure Hunter, alongside Cosmic Insight and Magical Footwear. Rune shards remain Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling. The core itemization starts with Lich Bane, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame. The remaining items include Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, and Banshee's Veil. The recommended ability max order is Q - E - W.

Off-Meta

For a different playstyle, Flash and Smite are paired with Hail of Blades, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Treasure Hunter in the primary rune tree, along with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight in the secondary tree. Rune shards follow the usual pattern of Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling. This build begins with Nashor's Tooth, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Lich Bane, then rounds out with Rabadon's Deathcap, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Shadowflame. The skill order remains Q - E - W.

Situational Ekko Runes and Items

Depending on the matchup, team compositions, and overall game state, adjustments to runes and itemization may be necessary. If facing heavy physical damage, consider taking Armor as a defensive rune shard, while against strong magic damage, Magic Resist may be the better choice. Items should be adapted based on the threats posed by the enemy team.
