Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Marksmage
Gold
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 75% Ability Power.
Why on Ekko
Your Attacks deal bonus physical damage based on your Ability Power, so weaving them in to trigger Z-Drive Resonance (passive) and Phase Dive (E) adds extra burst.
1
Jeweled Gauntlet
Prismatic
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Why on Ekko
Timewinder (Q) hits on both the throw and the return, and Chronobreak (R) deals burst on arrival, giving your combo several chances to critically strike.
2
Dashing
Prismatic
Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.
Why on Ekko
Phase Dive (E) is a dash, so the extra Ability Haste lets you reposition and land its empowered teleporting attack far more often in each fight.
