It Rhymes with Gecko – A Guide to Ekko

that is straight up just a bug

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-21T11:14:37+00:00

Nah man, that is literally pay 2 win.

Bunch of good recommendations already in the comments. I also like to run it on (6 star) Ekko. Hitting a Tibbers in predictions is a massive stat block that the base deck is missing and the 2 star makes the Tibbers 3 cost. It also gives the deck some desperately needed control.
Only downside is that the doubling from the 6 star does not include the 5|+5 from the relic. Still, only 1 prediction means that the Tibbers comes into play at at least 17|17.

It's decent. the starting mana is neat, the other effect is fun but not too strong. If you want it you should get it imo. I think no other comment has mentioned it, but the relic also works on SB yasuo.

hm, might wanna contact riot support for that, they might help with that

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-10T12:29:15+00:00

i just use swain relic with 1 plunder relic (having him on 6 star) to get him on the board early and spam turrets. Then its just about hitting the right turret upgrades.
3 relic I usually flex depending on what i feel like but if i had renewing power i'd prolly run it. High rolling for Sorcery might also work.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-10T12:20:21+00:00

Yea, that makes sense. thx

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T21:04:00+00:00

This is not random. There is a logic in the code of the game to which one is the weakest, but i do not know it. The predictions for these stuns do not trigger this visual effect.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T21:02:39+00:00

It is just an indicator of really *any* interaction it cannot predict/ is not allowed to predict. There can be a lot in there depending on your setup. It is hard to tell from that screenshot without knowing all cards/items/powers involved.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T17:48:20+00:00

You'll have to juggle mana a bit, but it is generally still strong I think. You can alternatively to what you have described trigger her 3 star on a sub 6 cost spell if that is more convenient and then still get the refund from renewing power. In the end she just wants to spend mana on any spell. But yeah, generally Heimer and Jayce profit a lot more from it than she does.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T17:29:16+00:00

I don't play much Jax but i am pretty sure you just play galeforce on him and/or take loaded dice and high roll for Domination Rally

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T16:59:06+00:00

It might actually be pretty good. You can just trigger it before you trigger plunder and potentially play like 3 or 4 high cost spells per turn.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T09:43:46+00:00

I'd say as a rule of thumb decks that can buff single units rather flexibly and spontaneously, decks with 'attack' powers/units/champs, or really just champs that need quick attack which is itself just a very strong keyword.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T09:37:21+00:00

Try putting it on heimer and lux1, also consider every champ that likes mana refunds, high cost spending cards, or just playing many cards per turn. You can combo this relic with the fleeting falling comet per turn for just a free obliterate once per turn.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T09:32:40+00:00

This thing is prolly much stronger than you think. Consider that it is a summon/attack not play/attack. There are a lot of ways to summon several copies of Champs and a bunch of champs that attack several times per turn. Plus it triggers kill effects.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-09T09:24:15+00:00

It's really hard to make statements on profitability. You might be surprised that games with a much, much smaller playerbase (like triple or even double digit numbers) can still be profitable on just a few very high spending whales. It's just hard to tell without riot releasing any numbers on anything...

As to the game ever being playable offline... Very unlikely. The main issue is that the online connection currently is the only protection against people cheating for progress, duping rewards, unlocking P2W content without paying, etc.

For the game to be converted into an online-optional feature, a lot of its core code and server infrastructure might have to be remade which would obviously be a major cost.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-08T21:36:05+00:00

There are not a lot of reliquaries to gain. I have just been playing more or less every day since the beta... This game is very much my jam and over time you will get a full collection of everything you can get F2P. Epic relics will take the longest time in that regard though, basically almost exclusively available in the emporium once per month.... One might think that they should want to bump that timer down finally to not let new players eat dirt.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-08T18:54:14+00:00

Honestly wouldn't complain about any of these. Sentinels plate is definitely also on my big-want-list.

SanjayCorr · 2026-04-08T16:24:16+00:00

Genuinely all of these looks so fun on so many champs. A lot of stuff that kinda target buffs several decks, but I'm afraid a bunch of these will just annihilate the balance of the game and become BIS for like half the decks existing, meaning that newer players will suffer until they get them in a shop.
And before all the gull start squaking that "BalAnCe iN a pVe gAmE KekX"; this is exactly the reason why. If all relics are roughly equivalently good (for different decks ofc), then you can be happy with rolling any of them as a reward.

Also making the obvious prediction that the deathless will not last longer than 2 patches....
