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 Ornn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from walls and his pillar

    Don't stand near a wall or the Volcanic Rupture (Q) pillar: if he slams into it with Searing Charge (E), enemies around him take a knock-up.

  2. Get out of his breath

    Get out of Bellows Breath (W) before the final burst of flame: it makes you brittle, and his CC then lasts 30% longer on you.

  3. Keep him in combat in lane

    Hit him regularly in lane: while he's being attacked, he can't forge his items on the spot with Living Forge (passive).

  4. Dodge the redirected elemental

    When he recasts Call of the Forge God (R), get out of the elemental's line: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones.
