the Boy Who Shattered Time
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (5,869 games).
Ekko, the Boy Who Shattered Time, rewinds a few seconds with Chronobreak and heals for part of the damage he took in them. Master+ players took him Mid and in the jungle almost equally, chose Hail of Blades over Dark Harvest more often, and opened with Dusk and Dawn in his most-bought path.

Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it
Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Punish the cooldown — Ekko is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 8/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Ekko in 4 patches. The latest is patch 26.18, published 2026-09-09.
QTimewinder
As one of our assassins that offer opponents a wider mix of gameplay options, Ekko has found a slightly weak steady state since Dusk & Dawn's update mid year. We believe he has some room for power, especially in mid where he scales slightly worse, without buffing his Hail of Blades pattern.
PZ-Drive Resonance
Now that the dust has settled from 26.9's Dusk and Dawn reshape, we've uncovered that Ekko has room for a compensation buff as he is no longer completely bound to just buying that item for his power.
PZ-Drive Resonance
Time has been on Ekko's side this year. We're taking a swing at both his clear speed and burst after early game to prevent him from going haywire after getting a lead.
QTimewinder
Ekko's currently sitting a bit weak in both the jungle and mid lane, so we've got some timely buffs to help him out. We've got some extra base damage for his Q which should help him shave seconds clearing jungle camps and minion waves without needing additional power from items.
Riot's data lists 13 looks for Ekko with their own art, the base skin included and 46 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Ekko, the Boy Who Shattered Time, is a Assassin and Mage champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 8/10 for difficulty, 5/10 for attack, 3/10 for defense and 7/10 for magic. Ekko spends Mana and has 13 skins with their own art.
A prodigy from the rough streets of Zaun, Ekko is able to manipulate time to twist any situation to his advantage. He uses his own invention, the Z-Drive, to explore the branching possibilities of reality, crafting the perfect moment to seemingly achieve the impossible the first time, every time. Though Ekko revels in this freedom, when there's a threat to those he cares about, he and the Firelights will do anything to defend them.
