Introduction

Heyo!! My name is Aynimis, and welcome to midlane, and jungle Ekko guide! I have almost 100k mastery score as of publishing this guide. I will explain the different methods, techniques, and paths you can take with .

Runes

Midlane Ekko

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Hybrid Pen Marks is better for because of these reasons. 's AP scalings on his basic abilities are not that high. Because of that reason, and the fact that you use your auto-attacks a lot in your combos, Hybrid Marks give you the edge you need.

Armor Seals are just good in general.

Scaling MR is vs an AD Midlaner like or . Because you are going to be facing the AP of their team later in the game, scaling MR is the better choice.

Quints of Ability Power give you the 15AP at the start, coupled with , you end up with 30AP.

This image here graphs the benifits of Hybrid Marks Vs. Magic Penetration Marks. You can apply ekko to this, because at most, the return on 's deals 60% AP. And that skill can be hard to land with a difficult matchup. However, the rest have a 10 and 40% AP ratio excluding his ult.

Jungle Ekko

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Im not going to go into much here just to say that for an easier clear time in the Jungle, you are going to want attack speed. It lets you proct your passive quicker, and just deal more damage. You wont have any AP starting, which is fine, because you have weak skirmishes early game. IS A LATE GAME CHAMPION. Athough a good player can influence the game pretty hard to snowball the early game into lategame, you are still going to be weak early, but i will get more into that later.

Masteries

Midlane Ekko

Jungle Ekko

Who is Ekko??

Ekko as a Champion

is an AP Assassin/Fighter type champion with a good amount of CC. He has a decent amount of burst, but also relies on auto attacks to put stacks on his passive . He is very time oriented (no pun intended), meaning you have to time all of your combos ahead of time. From this point we will go to talk about the items that work well with .

Items for jungle and Laning

Standard Items on Ekko (Midlane and Jungle)

is a must have item on . It deals a nice amount of damage, helps with wave clear, and gives you a nice 10% movement speed. Movement speed on is so nice. When jungling with , however, you already get a Ludens that gives you mana sustain in the JG and the 10% movement speed in the form of . The movement speed is the big thing on both of these items. With this, you are able to roam faster, help out teammates faster, chase down enemies who arent dead yet from your combo, and escaping. Couple this with and , you are sooo fast.

Boots of swiftness is an item i take in every role with , just because he has really good ganks and geat roaming potential. I would definately take this over as a jungler because you have lots of speed in and out of battle. But if your midlane, and want to take then go ahead, but this is what i recommend, and i can tell you it is very effective. But as a Jungler, you must take Swiftys.

So the next standard item on is . This is such a good item with . It is extremely synergetic with his 'E' because you use 'E', blinking you, and empowering your next auto, but it also triggers . With this item you can split push like a god. Ive litterally dropped towers in less than 5 seconds because of this item. Also the movement speed will stack with / movement speed. This will help chunk poeple on the other team and make them run in fear of a sudden .

This is another great item on . He gains AP, AS, and CDR, allowing him to deal more damage while enemies are under his stun, and has his ult on a lower cooldown. This is a great item if you are ahead, or are doing okay Vs. good matchups. This is a mid-lategame item,and should not be built if you are behind.

is just a standard AP item for most AP champions because it passively increased your AP. Just a good item.

This is a great item right now. It has low overall cost to build, easy build path, and it provides decent AP and MR stats. The Aura is great for when you land your ult right on top of them, and it goes well with 's 'E' .

Items if Behind

The reason i say to Build this if behind is if you need more CC on your team. The added health is also benificial, but mainly your looking at the slows.

is an item you pick when you know you have a bad matchup early on and you know you would be behind. It gives you health, mana and AP. Additionally, with the health and mana regen when you level up, it helps to sustain you in lane so you can keep on farming. Building this as a jungler is not a bad idea when you or your team is behind. Building this after getting Runic Echoes and will make you able to sustain better for your team.

on can be seen as both a defensive item and an offensive item depending on your playstyle. you can actually do a lot of really cool plays with this item, which I will explain in later chapters. But overall, the armor + AP is great.

Okay so here i will explain what items to build in what order if you are doing fine. / for the damage/movement speed, then go into . Next build . Afterwords go into --> --> .

Now if you are Vs. a bad matchup or are behind, here are the items in order that you should buy. --> --> --> --> . You want to go slightly tanky. Because you are behind,you want to hope for late game, so sustain yourself until then.

Ability Sequence
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

Im going to start here talking about each of the abilities.

's passive is another one of those 3-hit passives that riot loves to put out. So you can apply stacks by using damaging spells/abilities (excluding smite and ignite) and auto attacks. on the 3rd hit, deals extra damage, and gains movement speed, while reducing theirs. Being able to land this consistantly is one of the defining characteristics of a good player. I will go later into explaining combos. This stack also applies to creeps and jungle camps, although you dod not get the movement speed bonus.

is 's main form of harrass in lane, in teamfights, and damage to jungle camps. can apply 2 stacks of . Once when you throw out the skill, and again on its return(if you land it. This skill will return to you no matter how far away you are from it. It will also retract and deal damage to enemy and neutral units even after you died.
