2 When a Rogue falls below 50% Health, they briefly become untargetable and dash to an enemy within 4 hexes (preferring enemy backline).
4 Additionally, a Rogue's first attack on an enemy bleeds them for 40% of their max Health as magic damage over 5 seconds.

Best comps for Ekko
3. GUNOVER
Image
Synergies:
3 Piltover
1 Technogenius
4 Zaun
4 Gunner
1 Redemption
This comp is all about the T-Rex, so make sure you keep losing until the T-Rex has 30-45 charges, and then win a round to upgrade him.
If you want the bruiser trait to work, you can place Vi instead of Heimerdinger.
Best team to build this:
1. Zeri does most of the damage because she has the traits of both a gunner and a Zaun.
2. Jayce is one of the most important choices because he has the same trait as the gunner and the Piltover, which would call the T-Rex.
3. Heimerdinger will do a lot of damage from the backlines while summoning both the turret as a Technogenius and the T-Rex as a Piltover member.
4. Senna will add to the gunner trait by giving the team a shield and making it faster to attack.
5. Jinx is the fourth gunner. He does a lot of damage from behind the lines and has the same trait as Zaun.
6. Urgot is the third member of Zaun. He does good damage and can take a lot more.
7. Ekko is the third Piltover member to call on the T-Rex and the fourth Zaun member to take a lot of damage in the front lines.
8. Sejuani is a great pick for the front lines because she can take a lot of damage.
2. COLD KILLS
Image
Synergies:
4 Rogue
3 Frejlord
2 Zaun
2 Deadeye
This is a fast reroll to level 8 with a strong economy that lets you get all of your champions with a cost between 2 and 3 to level 3 and focus on Katarina.
This comp is all about using assassins with the "rogue" trait or more to kill your enemies' backlines.
This comp's best build:
1. Katarina does most of the damage in this comp. She has the Rogue trait, which makes her an assassin if her health falls below 50%.
2. Lissandra is a good choice because she can stun enemies, giving the rogues more time to do the damage they need to do.
3. Sejuani is one of the best tanks in TFT right now because she can take a lot of damage and stun a lot of people at once.
4. Since Urgot has both the Zaun and deadeye traits, he can deal a lot of damage and take a lot more.
5. As a rogue, Zed can do a lot of damage.
6. Viego is your third member who has gone bad with the rogue trait.
7. Ekko is a great choice because he is both Zaun and rogue, which means he can heal himself and do a lot of damage.
8. Ashe is a very important pick because she has both the deadeye and the frejlord.
1. GUNS BEHIND WALLS
Image
Synergies:
4 Gunner
4 Zaun
2 Bruiser
This comp is built around the Zaun and Gunner traits and expensive champions, so make sure you can quickly reroll to level 8 and have a strong economy to get them to level 2 at least.
Best team to build this:
1. Zeri does most of the damage because she has the traits of both a gunner and a Zaun.
2. Jayce is one of the most important picks because he shares the gunner and gives his teammates extra attack speed.
3. The second bruiser is Sion, who is a big tank in the front lines and can take a lot of damage.
4. Tristana is a great choice as the third gunner, but you can also switch her out for Senna if you need to.
5. Jinx is the fourth gunner. He does a lot of damage from behind the lines and has the same trait as Zaun.
6. Urgot is the third member of Zaun. He does good damage and can take a lot more.
7. Ekko is the fourth Zaun soldier to get hurt a lot on the front lines.
8. Sejuani is a great choice because, like Sion, she is a bruiser and can take a lot of damage in the front lines.
