Every third attack or damaging spell on the same target deals bonus magic damage, and grants Ekko a burst of speed if the target is a champion.

Z-Drive Resonance (passive) procs on the 3rd hit on the same target — E (dash) + auto + Q to proc all 3 stacks quickly and trigger the burst + speed.
Your R (Chronobreak) brings you back to your position from 4s ago — engage aggressively, burst, then R to return to safety.
W (Parallel Convergence) stuns and shields if you're inside when it triggers — cast it in advance then engage into it.
Your Q (Timewinder) returns like a boomerang — position yourself so both the outgoing AND return hit.

Playing against Ekko
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Watch Ekko's ghost clone: that's where his R will bring him back. Place CC or damage at that location.
His W has a 3s delay and a distinctive sound — if you hear it, leave the area immediately.
Ekko is an assassin: buy HP and MR to survive his initial burst. If he can't one-shot, he has to R out.
Don't chase him on his terms — he wants you to pursue him so he can R and burst you on the way back.
