Guide to Countering Ekko as Nautilus

Tips for Playing as Nautilus against Ekko

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Advice to Win Against Ekko

The second hit of Timewinder does more damage than the first; try to avoid it.

Ekko is significantly weaker when his ultimate is down. Watch for the trail he leaves behind to determine if Chronobreak is available.

Ekko's stun zone takes 3 seconds to arm. Watch for the image he creates on cast and try to guess where the zone was placed.
