Ekko Champion Abilities

Z-Drive Resonance

Ekko's Zero-Drive charges his spells and attacks with temporal energy, making him build up Resonance stacks on enemies which last up to 4 seconds. Every third stack deals 30-140 bonus magic damage (150% damage vs monsters). If the target is a champion, Ekko also gains 50 / 60 / 70 / 80% movement speed for the duration. Z-Drive Resonance cannot affect the same target twice within 5 seconds. P

Timewinder

Ekko throws a device dealing 80 / 95 / 110 / 125 / 140 (+30% of ability power) magic damage. On hitting a champion or reaching the end of its range, it expands into a field that slows enemies inside by 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60%. After it expands, Ekko recalls it, dealing 40 / 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 (+60% of ability power) magic damage. Q

Parallel Convergence

Passive: Ekko's attacks against enemies below 30% health deal 3% (+3% per 100 ability power) of the target's missing health as magic damage.

Active: Ekko launches a chronosphere lasting 1.5 seconds after a delay that slows enemies inside by 40%. If Ekko enters the sphere, he detonates it, stunning for 2.25 seconds and gaining a 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 / 180 (+150% of ability power) shield. W

Chronobreak

Ekko turns back time, entering Stasis while teleporting to where he was 4 seconds ago and dealing 200 / 350 / 500 (+175% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies. In addition, Ekko restores 100 / 150 / 200 (+60% of ability power) health, increased by 3% for each 1% health he lost in last 4 seconds. R

Ekko Tips and Tricks

Use your Q to push the minion wave when the enemy is positioned within it, allowing you to poke while maintaining lane control. During the mid and late game, look for opportunities to split push if no team fights are happening. Your strong dueling potential makes you a threat to anyone who tries to stop you. In team fights, use your W from fog of war to set up a flank and engage when it's about to activate. If your team is not in a position to follow up, it’s best to wait rather than diving in alone.
