Hello! Very well-made guide, my friend!

Whenever I run in order to scale, I usually opt for the Precision tree secondary, with and . The extra tenacity is a HUGE bonus, as I don't really want to build utility on , and triumph can give you a small edge when going for picks, especially with your ultimate.

Let me know what you think about this! Best of luck!

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. Honestly, one of the best things about Ekko is how versatile he is. Apart from his primary rune tree of First Strike or Dark Harvest, I think he's free to use almost any combination of secondary runes that can match your playstyle. I personally prefer the inspiration or domination secondary as it helps to reach the scaling point faster due to the gold generation runes but if your personal preference is Precision feel free to go whatever suits you best.

Made an account just to asked if this is updated or not

UPDATED

the relative game knowledge parts still apply like most matchups, the core build, and general gameplan but preseason specific updates like the new jungle items and general jungle changes haven't been added or updated yet
I'm planning to update those parts sometime in the early season as I get more experience first-hand in the new ranked season (New season starts January 10th)(

Just played a game I love nashor rush and chem tank 3rd or 4th really helps to be able to one shot nidalie and gives you room to tank a spear

hey, what should i buy first, Nashors or Rocketbelt? Cause your itembuild says rocketbelt but in the comments you say that you sometimes build nashors first. Thanks for your answer!

Honestly up to preference. Nashors lets you farm faster, duel better, and do objectives quicker solo. Nashors is also better in skirmishes most of the time since it gives you more sustained damage. Rocketbelt lets you gank a LOT better and catch up to more mobile and slippery champs.

hey just wanted to know about if lich Bane isn't a good item on ekko? just saw pro guides guide and saw that ekkos core is rocketbelt, sorc boots and lich Bane so just wanted to know what's the pro and cons of their build vs your build, thanks a ton!!

If Proguides was talking about midlane then that's expected. Nashors is great jungle because it lets you farm faster, do objectives easier and gives some more AP. LichBane isn't bad or unusable, in fact it's still quite good but Nashors especially in jungle just lets you play more versatile. You're basically trading some map mobility and like 100-200 burst damage in your EQ combo for faster farming and effectivness in extended fights.

Yo what do you think about ekko on jg with electrocute( sudden impact, eyeball, relentless hunter, sorcery , gathering storm, nimbus cloak) and your guide is beneficial.

(1) |

Electrocute can be good for a bit more early damage. The sorcery secondary with gathering is alright but I don't think nimbus cloak is good on Ekko compared to the other choices. Nimbus is great for sticking onto opponents but Ekko's passive already does a great job of escaping or sticking onto champs which is basically the whole point of nimbus cloak.

This set has helped me so much and I've been able to play Ekko no. I'm now looking more into the routes for him because I'm trying get more into jungleing. i feel so good using this guide

loved it

Love this guide! About to hop into my second game ever with Ekko and feeling a lot more confident after learning about his passive and ability use from you. :)
Hope I won't get an Elise against me (certainly gonna ban Kha'zix)
Edit: I had a viego who was p good at his hero but I dominated!
Viego used to be my nightmare enemy jgl. I'm so happy!

Actually, this is the best Ekko guide. I do hope it gets updated (if it even needs it) so it's at the top of the search results.

Thanks for the guide.
Why are you not using Lich's bane?

Usually in the jungle you'll be going Rocketbelt or Nashors first. These will be your first 2 items in 95% of games. 3rd item is then void staff or rabadons because mid to late game is when MR becomes pretty hefty. Rabadons just gives you pure AP which is a massive help with one shotting people because of your AP ratios. Basically I don't use Lichbane because Nashors gives more AP and attack speed to clear objectives and camps quicker as well as just not having a place to fit into the item build. Lichbane is still useable especially if fed because the MS allows you to terrorize the map even more. All in all the stats aren't that great anyways and Nashors just gives more as an item.
