Guide to Synergizing Ekko and Tristana

Tips for Playing as Ekko with Tristana

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 Tristana Will Play

Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.

Her massive gun allows Tristana to fire on targets at a great distance. Utilize this to prevent your enemies from ever laying a hand on you.

Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.

Overall, Ekko sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Tristana. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference may signal that Tristana does not provide cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Ekko is played together with Tristana on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Tristana. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Tristana.

Additionally, when Ekko plays with Tristana on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Tristana does a decent job of protecting Ekko during teamfights.

Is Ekko better when played alongside Tristana?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Ekko that will always be his ideal synergy. However, Tristana is a very typical ally for Ekko. By locking into the same team as Ekko, she drops their win rate by -0.1% to 50.9%. This proves that there is not really a strong bond between Ekko and Tristana that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Tristana has a much lower diffuclty than Ekko. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Tristana comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Ekko and Tristana together, you probably will not be giving your side enough support. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Tristana ally, 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, regardless.
