Guide to Countering Ekko as Nocturne

Tips for Playing as Nocturne against Ekko

Use Shroud of Darkness in tandem with Paranoia's dash. Your opponents may panic and waste a critical disable on your spell shield.

Using Paranoia at a critical moment is well worth it even if you cannot use the dash.

Duskbringer isn't only an offensive ability. It can be used to close distance out of combat or escape from certain death.

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.
