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.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Shen.

Is Ekko better when played alongside Shen?

There is no perfect synergy for Ekko that will 100% of the time be his best ally. Yet, Shen is a relatively poor teammate for Ekko. By playing on the same team as Ekko, he drops their win rate by -1.2% to 49.8%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Ekko and Shen that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Shen has a much lower diffuclty than Ekko. That means Ekko players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Shen teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to work well with you.

Playing together, Ekko players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide a lot of utility for your team. Together, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Conversely, by pairing Ekko and Shen together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a lot of AD. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Shen ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
