Tips for Playing as Ekko with Kayn

Chronobreak is a potent escape tool, but it can also be quite powerful when used offensively. Don't underestimate its damage potential.

If you can proc Z-Drive Resonance on an enemy champion, it's worth taking risks to do so. The bonus Move Speed makes it easy to escape.

Phase Dive's dash is a great tool for setting up Ekko's other abilities. Use it to get double hits with Timewinder or get into position to detonate Parallel Convergence.

Is Ekko better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no ideal synergy for Ekko that will always be his ideal ally. Yet, Kayn is a very typical teammate for Ekko. By being on the same team as Ekko, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 51.9%. This demonstrates that there is only a small bond between Ekko and Kayn that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Kayn has a lower difficulty than Ekko. That means Ekko players don't need to be careful when arranging Kayn comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to work well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by pairing Ekko and Kayn together, you will not be granting your other teammates much magic damage. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Kayn ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
