Guide to Synergizing Zac and Ekko

Tips for Playing as Zac with Ekko

Picking up goo chunks is very important to staying alive.

When Cell Division is ready, try to die in a position that makes it difficult for the enemy team to kill your bloblets.

Charging Elastic Slingshot from the fog of war will give opponents less time to react.

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.

How to Play with Ekko as Zac in LoL

The Zac Ekko synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ekko, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zac sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ekko. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Ekko helps Zac perform not as well in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zac tries to synergize with Ekko, he observes a marginal improvement in his complete damage dealt. This change may signal that Ekko helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Zac is played with Ekko on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ekko.

Moreover, when Zac plays with Ekko on the same side, he typically takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Ekko does a decent job of covering Zac during team fights.

Is Zac better when played alongside Ekko?

There is no ideal companion for Zac that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. However, Ekko is a decent teammate for Zac. By being on the same side as Zac, he improves their win rate by 2.8% to 54.6%. This shows that there is a somewhat important strategic relationship between Zac and Ekko that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Ekko has a lower difficulty than Zac. That means Zac players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Ekko allies to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting alongside, Zac players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Zac and Ekko together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates enough attack damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Ekko teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
