Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 6 with only the excess until Neeko and Ekko are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Titan's Resolve, Bloodthirster, and Guinsoo's Rageblade on Ekko.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Juggernaut Ekko.
