Ekko excels as a versatile jungle assassin, combining efficient clear speeds with excellent scaling and high magical damage output. His forgiving kit, centered around his ultimate, makes him suitable for both beginners and experienced players.

Core Skills:

  • Start W: Provides strong passive damage to monsters and protective shield
  • Max Q first: Offers maximum DPS and crucial AoE clear
  • E second: Enhanced mobility and engage potential
  • W last: Utility scaling is less priority

Pro Tip: Delay leveling R to disguise its availability - enemies won't see Ekko's shadow until skilled.

Standard Combo:

  1. Cast W for zoning/shield
  2. Launch Q
  3. E dash to target
  4. Auto-attack to trigger passive
  5. R for escape or extra damage

Item Build: Starting:

  • Hailblade
  • Health Potion

Core:

  • Night Harvester
  • Sorcerer's Shoes
  • Shadowflame

Situational:

  • Zhonya's Hourglass (vs AD threats)
  • Void Staff (vs MR stacking)
  • Rabadon's Deathcap (when ahead)

Clear Path:

  • Red Buff → Raptors → Wolves → Blue → Gromp
  • Focus on efficient Q usage for multi-target camps
  • Use W shield to maintain healthy clear

Power Spikes:

  • Level 3: Full combo available
  • Level 6: Ultimate provides safety and outplay potential
  • First item completion: Major damage increase

This aggressive jungler thrives on catching enemies off-guard and can turn teamfights with well-timed ultimates. Focus on farming efficiently early game while looking for guaranteed gank opportunities.
