Guide to Countering Zoe as Ekko

Tips for Playing as Ekko against Zoe

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 Win Against Zoe

Zoe's Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown.

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Stop Zoe from hiding in fog of war to prevent her from setting the spell up.

Zoe must return to her starting point after casting Portal Jump, making her vulnerable to a counterattack.
