Ekko Jungle guide
Ekko jungle runs a combo built on Timewinder (Q), Phase Dive (E), and the third-hit payoff of Z-Drive Resonance (passive): throw Timewinder (Q) to slow and tag a target, follow with Phase Dive (E) to close the gap and add damage, and let the passive's bonus magic damage and speed burst finish the read.
The build
Rune page: Dark Harvest, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Treasure Hunter (Domination), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Parallel Convergence (W) at level 1, then maxes Timewinder (Q) first with Phase Dive (E) second. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Dusk and Dawn, Shadowflame, and Rabadon's Deathcap, with Zhonya's Hourglass, Dark Seal, and Hextech Rocketbelt as later options.
Ability mechanics
Timewinder (Q) expands into a slowing, damaging field on hit, then rewinds back to Ekko for a second hit after a delay. Phase Dive (E) has him roll evasively while charging his Z-Drive, then teleports him to his target on the next attack for bonus damage. Chronobreak (R) makes him untargetable and rewinds him to a point a few seconds earlier, healing off the damage taken since and hitting anyone near his return point.
Matchups
Hardest matchups by win rate: Sylas, Kayn, Graves, Nocturne, Naafiri. Best matchups: Viego, Lee Sin, Jarvan IV.
