How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his R

Whoever uses Ekko's ult first loses — bait out his Chronobreak before you commit yours.

Steal his ult

His R is an SS-tier steal — take it whenever you can; you can even steal it, recall, buy items, and Ekko R back to lane.

Match his push

If he hard shoves, max Q; if he doesn't, max W and try to snowball hard.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never blow the Ekko ult first in the duel — whoever uses it first loses the exchange.
