Best Slot 2 (Rune)	Biscuit Delivery	Future’s Market

Offense	+10% Attack Speed
Flex	+9 Adaptive Force
Defense	+8 Magic Resist

Smite

Smite should be essential for junglers because of the previously mentioned reason. Also, it will help you get additional XP and kill important monster objectives.

Best Ekko Ability Order

Like most champions, Ekko should use the same skill order in all the games he plays. This will allow him to have the most DPS and assassination potential in every game. First, you should focus on leveling up the timewinder to lessen its cooldown and increase its damage. Next, level up your phase dive to also reduce its cooldown, enabling you to outplay enemies during skirmishes.

This skill order will grant you the best chance to execute low health targets whenever you please. You can also get out unscathed with chronobreak and phase dive having low cooldowns.

Best Ekko Items

Here are the best items for Ekko jungle. Build all of these in order to have the best possible damage and flexibility. Managing league of legends items is hard but follow these to make it easier!

Best Ekko Starter Items

You should look to start with emberknife every single game because it provides you bonus true damage that will help executing enemies during skirmishes. Also, refilling potion is great because you do not have to buy potions every single time you go back to the base; stacking 50 gold is a lot, and refilling potion eliminates that problem.

Best Mid-Game Ekko Items

Always focus on completing hextech rocketbelt because it has a strong active ability, supersonic, granting Ekko a flexible dash that is great for all situations. Next, look into completing sorcerer's shoes because movement speed is essential for junglers. A slow jungler will have a hard time making a presence around the map, especially for Ekko, who is an assassin that is weak during the early game.

First Item	Second Item	Third Item	Fourth Item	Fifth Item
Hextech Rocketbelt	Sorcerer’s Shoes	Lich Bane	Control Ward	Needlessly Large Rod

Look into buying some lich bane items to transition into the late game. This item enhances Ekko's damage when casting phase dive.

Best Late Game Ekko Items

These items give the most ability power that will boost Ekko's damage in the late game. Also, a great addition to your inventory is zhonya's hourglass, considering Ekko is a melee champion, which enables you to outplay enemies when you are caught in an unfavorable position or faced with crowd control.

First Item	Second Item	Third Item	Fourth Item	Fifth Item	Sixth Item
Hextech Rocketbelt	Sorcerer’s Shoes	Lich Bane	Rabadon’s Deathcap	Zhonya’s Hourglass	Void Staff

On the other hand, void staff gives a huge amount of magic penetration and ability power, opening multiple possibilities of killing an enemy carry and getting out unscathed.
