Early game (levels 1–5)

Ekko's Timewinder is a slow, avoidable skillshot, and without it landing he has almost no way to punish your trades, so you can walk him down and win exchanges with your passive stacking. His Parallel Convergence zone takes a few seconds to detonate, giving you time to walk out before it stuns. Keep pressuring every cooldown window through level 5.
