I only exclusively play Ekko Jungle and nothing else (I am at Emerald 2-3) Imo HOB is the best rune (if you build what I do) or Electrocute I don‘t really feel like dark harvest is that great but that may be my bias. I go Nashor‘s tooth first and Rabadon‘s second and in 99% of cases void staff third If you take HOB and Absolute Focus and gathering storm second your 2 item power spike is so so huge. Cons: Rabadons build path is meh but you have to build the item nonetheless, a later 2 item powerspike (but a lot stronger) Pro: You have void staff a lot faster Ekko is heavily countered by MR and even if you‘re fed if the enemies stack a lil mr you have problems one shooting but this build fixes it in a way. This 3 item core is 100 gold less lol. This 3 item core actually does 50-60 damage more to adc‘s lmao (or more if you need to auto some with nashor‘s) and ofc is a lot better against tankier comps and champs It‘s way more diverse you can actually kill tanks and bruiser with this choice before your fourth item what is huge if you want to carry with Ekko or build zhonyas third if really needed (or if you have a huge stacked mejais) You can actually kill people with the 2 item core if fed that doesn‘t really work with only nash and lich from my experience even if I take absolute focus and gathering storm for full damage. Nash + rabadons is so strong because you will get people more consistently under the 30% threshold for the W passive and rabadons puts your W passive at 17-18% whereas lich would only put it at 11-12%. Nashor‘s hits so much harder with rabadons also because of way more ap it‘s just so good to actually consistently be able to kill people even at 2 items and be able to fight tankier champs even at 3 items. Oh and pls take double adaptive force, the attack speed shard is worse even for the first clear also take blue pet to roam the map fast even if you skip sorcs for a needlesly large road (you should always do this if you have the gold) and always buy a dark seal if you get some stacks and you get rabadons second one shots will be easy -> if you use hob‘s extra auto attack which will hit hard if they fall under 30% hp threshold btw if someone is curious hob‘s full combo (both two fast attacks) is just as quick as the normal combo if you have nash (for example with elec or dark harvest)
@@husseinmoussa2947still feels like his best. Rocket belt fells like trash, only 60ap.. Nashors still gives ekko a lot more Ap scaleing, since most combos are is auto attacks. Passive always needs you to auto attack at least once. And E is a auto attack. Q1, E, auto, auto, Nashors give's you + 60%ap more Dmg . And finishing off low enemies is a lot faster. Since you still have 15-16% missing hp Dmg at 2 items. It makes ekko less relent on his passive and abilites to kill people. Meaning you can kill bruisers and Adcs with a enchanters whare normaly you would be out of Dmg. Nashors, litch bane, rab is also good too. Any full Dmg build feels good in generally. Rocket belt is trash now.
I know that most high ranked players use dark harvest on Ekko nowadays. However I fell in love with HoB on him. This allows me to have early power and start my snowball. Which I value a lot. I win ~80% of my games where I have +2 @10min. And while DH is strong lategame you dont necessary need it because you got a crazy burst already. What do you think about this? This also allows you to skip protobelt (no need to auto reset because I have HoB + I take blue smite for movespeed and gap close). Yes, I know it was buffed and now it gives okay statlines but I still feel like its not in line with what Ekko wants to do: Damage. Maybe I am seeing things the same way but just mixing up things so at the end of the day I do the same but worse idk. Its my first season and I am only gold. I love Ekko and this video tho. Thanks for teaching me how to invade properly amongst many things
Ty for the guide but based on what do you decide your farming path? Like if you commit to red enemy blue gromp but blue is gone then you’ve effectively wasted your time which the enemy jg will use to further their own clear/invade or base. So how do I as a jg make that decision?
So much effort, well made guide!
Much appreciated!
Very nice guide. Love the layout and how you went through all the different phases, items, and mechanics!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really well done guide
Glad you enjoyed it

i might have to invest im a new ekko main with 30k points, HOB looks really fun when i played him mid and im excited to try it in the jungle
forget about this comment lol, they guttered nashor and rabadons

Ngl your old logo was so much better
How come
@@Kaido_lol dunno it had a better feel now it looks super generic, lost its charm
Great guide 👍

It's good for lane ekko
Hob>dark havest
Best coach and best guide. Keep it up, boss!
Appreciate it!
Make detailed guides Like this for other champ
Hecarim next.

You shouldn't do red into enemy blue unless you know where he's starting. Standard 3 camp best path for ekko
How good is he against Fiddlesticks? Great Guide
Should feel rough as it's hard to punish him as ekko. Must try to fight invade timers and track him so he doesn't get free plays.
