Playing as Ekko

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit with your Q both ways

    Throw Timewinder (Q) at a champion, then position so the device passes through them again on its way back: it expands into a slowing field, and the return hits again.

  2. Three hits for your Resonance

    Hit with Timewinder (Q) out and back, and weave in the empowered auto from Phase Dive (E): the third hit triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and speed.

  3. Step into your sphere

    Cast Parallel Convergence (W) where the fight will happen, then step into the sphere when it appears: you stun the enemies inside and gain a shield.

  4. Engage, then rewind time

    Engage, deal your damage, then cast Chronobreak (R): you return to where you were 4 seconds earlier, in stasis, and recover health based on what you lost.

Playing against Kassadin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade before he hits 6

    Take as many trades as you can before he hits level 6: without Riftwalk (R), he has no way to move quickly, to engage or to escape.

  2. Lean on physical damage

    If you deal physical damage, lean on it in trades: Void Stone (passive) and Null Sphere (Q) only reduce magic damage.

  3. Drag it out when he chains R

    When he recasts Riftwalk (R) back to back, back off and drag the teamfight out: each quick recast doubles its mana cost, and once he's out of mana he can't blink anymore.

  4. End the game early

    Look to end the game early: at max rank, Riftwalk (R) only has a 2-second cooldown, and he blinks almost nonstop.
