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 Kog'Maw

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Engage when his W ends

    Engage when Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) ends: his attack range drops back to 500, and the spell has a 17-second cooldown.

  2. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for him: with no dash or leap, Kog'Maw can only back off on foot, and Void Ooze (E) is his only slow.

  3. Leave his R range at low health

    Below 40% health, get out of range of Living Artillery (R): each shot then deals its max damage to you, and it reaches very far.

  4. Move away when he dies

    When he dies, move away from him: Icathian Surprise (passive) makes him explode 4 seconds later, dealing true damage to nearby enemies.
