The Ekko versus Zac 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. Meanwhile, Zac deals primarily magic damage (85.27%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Ekko is higher farming statistics (ranked 14th among role champions) (versus 50th for Zac), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.3 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
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 Zac, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
