Idea's On How To Build Ekko

Boosterino·Nov 29, 2015·1 votes·573 views

Anyone have any suggestion on ways that I should build Ekko? Normally I fly directly for AP taking no heed to defences or health, just AP and Mana. However, I believe I should at least do some sort of gold investment into some sort of defence buff. Anyone have any idea what item would be suitable to help Ekko remain sustainable, while still doing massive AP damage? Or should I just keep going straight for AP and try to get kills before my lack of defense catches up to me?

My usual build:

Thank you to all who contributed![slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Facerolls Galore is a newer player. They are only level 10. Explanations as to why help better when you are lower level and don't understand everything.

Good items for many a Mage/Assassin like Ekko are: Void Staff --> item 3135 , Sorcerer Shoes --> item 3020 , Luden's Echo --> item 3285 , Zhonya's Hourglass --> item 3157 , Abyssal Scepter --> item 3001 , Lich Bane --> item 3100 , Morellonimicon --> item 3165 , Athene's Unholy Grail --> item 3174 (This item is good as a decent Magic Resistance item and a Mana Regen item rolled into one and can take the place of Morrellonomicon if need be though Morello's gives more AP). And the list keeps going. But good things to look for are Magic Penetration items : Examples Sorcerer Shoes (shown earlier), LIandry's Torment --> item 3151 and the item it builds out of Haunting Guise --> item 3136 . Void Staff item 3135 is different since it lets you ignore a percentage of the targets Magic Resist. Though even some Mage/Assassins don't have good synergy with some of these items. Just by how they are meant to work.

We all start out not knowing anything and it helps to have someone to explain things. Also about your build: Never get more then 1 of Rabadon's Deathcap item 3089 , or anything with a Unique passive since they don't stack.

Something I might try building though (just thought of it right now): item 1311 item 3089 item 3100 item 3285 item 3157 item 3001 This should give you good movement speed to get around the map and assassinate targets quickly while having the AP to make sure they get a grey screen. Item names: Sorcerer Shoes with Alacrity Enchantment, Rabadon's Deathcap, Lich Bane, Luden's Echo, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Abyssal Scepter.

Thank you for all the help! Will definitely try out this build in future matches!

Your welcome. Try to stick to bots for awhile. This might help as well. He made a bunch of Tips for Bronze/Gold. Check the Tips for Bronze out first. It might help a lot as well. Also don't buy Runes until you can start buying Tier 3. Otherwise the IP is kinda wasted.

Oh kk. Thought That Runes Were Necessary To Victory. Again, Thanks

Tier 3 runes just give you the most bang for you IP. Using IP on low costing (imo 1350 IP or less) champions early that you have tried while free and enjoyed is a better long term early investment.

I bought Ekko With IP :P I used my 400 free RP when I reached level 3 to buy a 1 day IP boost. I made 5900 Ip in 24 hours #NoLyfe

First, stop going double item 3089 . That is extremely bronze and gold inneficient. Second, if you're carrying for the team don't buy item 3504 , that is the supports job if and only if they have a shield and or healing ability.

Defense? You should definitely buy a item 3157 and that should be pretty much all you need to cure that itch you have for a bit more defense. item 3135 would be a great replacement for your second rabadon's.
