Guide to Synergizing Nunu & Willump and Ekko

Tips for Playing as Nunu & Willump with Ekko

Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.

You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.

It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.

Advice to Understand How Ekko Will Play

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.
