Ekko

Ekko is a brilliant Zaunite inventor who built a device that lets him rewind short bursts of time, using it to protect the friends and neighborhood he loves. Where others see the undercity as a dead end, he sees a future worth fighting for — and the seconds he needs to save it.

Ties to Zaun. The chem-fueled undercity beneath Piltover — inventive, dangerous and alive with toxic ambition. Ekko is counted among the champions connected to Zaun — explore the wider region on its Zaun lore page.

Role in Runeterra. In the fiction, Ekko is a lethal killer who strikes from the shadows and a wielder of potent magic, usually seen in the mid role in play. Their in-game kit echoes this identity, but the lore frames them first as a figure of the world rather than a set of numbers.

Powers and presence. On the battlefields of Runeterra, Ekko lives and kills in the shadows, striking with speed and precision before an enemy even registers the threat, and commands arcane power, bending magic to their will in ways ordinary warriors never could. It is this identity — far more than any statistic — that defines how Ekko is remembered across the world, and how allies and enemies alike come to fear or follow them.

Connections. Ekko’s story crosses paths with other champions — Jinx (Old friends). These bonds are drawn from official Runeterra lore, not invented for this page.

Others of Zaun. Ekko shares the story of Zaun with champions such as Blitzcrank, Dr. Mundo, Janna, Jinx. Reading their tales side by side reveals how a single region shapes very different heroes and villains.
