Guide to Synergizing Ekko and K'Sante

Tips for Playing as Ekko with K'Sante

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.

Advice to Understand How K'Sante Will Play

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).
