How to Beat Nocturne as Ekko (Jungle)

The Ekko versus Nocturne matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Ekko deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Nocturne deals mainly physical damage (84.55%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Ekko is higher farming statistics (ranked 14th among role champions) (versus 33rd for Nocturne), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.

Key aspects of the Ekko Jungle versus Nocturne Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ekko player to maintain constant pressure on Nocturne, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Ekko tips:

  • 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.

Playing Against Nocturne

  • Stay close to your allies when Paranoia is cast - there is strength in numbers!
  • Nocturne's Unspeakable Horror is broken with range, so try to save your movement abilities for when he casts it.
