Ekko Tips and Tricks
- Ekko's early game is mediocre at best, though kills can allow him to snowball and become very hard to deal with. Usually the best thing to do as Ekko is to power farm and be on the lookout for easy ganks while avoiding any duel with the enemy jungler.
- If you cast Parallel Convergence from a place that the enemy team has no vision on, they will not hear its sound.
- Chronobreak can do ridiculous amounts of damage when used offensively, but it can also be used as an escape tool— allowing you to Phase Dive into the Dragon or Baron pit to steal the objectives and go back over them without the need of Flash.
- Ekko has a lot of combos. The most common combo is: Parallel Convergence to predict enemy movement, Phase Dive to dash into them, quickly cast Timewinder and basic attack the enemy once you have dashed next to them in order to proc the bonus damage and movement speed from Ekko's passive.

Ekko Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Red Buff start
The recommended jungle path for Ekko starts on Red Buff with Parallel Convergence at level one for the shield and long stun. After Red, take Timewinder to clear Krugs, then move on to Raptors. This gives level three where you unlock Phase Dive. From there, clear Wolves, Gromp and Blue Buff. At level four, upgrade Timewinder before rotating to Rift Scuttler or going to gank a nearby lane.
The route focuses on full clearing to secure gold and early experience, which powers up Ekko's first item spike.
For aggression, Red into Raptors and Gromp offers a faster level three with Phase Dive available. This enables an earlier gank on Mid or Bot/Top depending on your side. The tradeoff is skipping Krugs for speed, but Ekko's burst from Timewinder and gap close with Phase Dive make early ganks effective if lanes can follow up.
