Ekko Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Window-based assassin build, not a raw-duel build: Ekko must create an angle, enter fast, force an important cooldown, then decide whether to fully commit or reset with ultimate. The premium build serves that double duty of explosive threat and clean exit, which separates a useful Ekko from a merely flashy one.
