Guide to Synergizing Ekko and Leona

Tips for Playing as Ekko with Leona

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 Leona Will Play

Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.

Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.

You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.
