This Ekko burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. Its 60.3% win rate comes from only 466 games, so treat it as an observation rather than a proven edge. The build's key strengths include devastating ability power scaling with 415 total AP. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Ekko with this build can punish teams that stack armor. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Ekko's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Ekko vulnerable to burst damage and limited ability haste may result in longer cooldowns. With a total gold cost of 15,400, this Ekko build scales into the late game. Focus on farming efficiently and reaching your Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Dusk and Dawn power spike before taking major fights. For optimal results with this Ekko build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
Strengths
- Devastating ability power scaling with 415 total AP
