Why this duo works

Ekko mains recommend an AD teammate at higher ranks because opponents often stack magic resistance against two magic-damage threats; Kayn supplies physical damage, and Rhaast's Blade's Reach(W) can help Ekko land Parallel Convergence(W).

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.5pp more often than expected over 1,263 games.

Playing the duo

Kayn deals physical damage alongside Ekko's magic damage, forcing opponents to split their defenses instead of answering both champions with magic resistance.

Rhaast's Blade's Reach(W) knocks targets up, giving Ekko more reliable time to enter the delayed Parallel Convergence(W) field and stun them.

How to play as Kayn

If the enemy team is preparing for Ekko's magic damage, your physical damage diversifies the threat; with Rhaast, time Blade's Reach(W) to hold targets in Ekko's Parallel Convergence(W).

How to play as Ekko

Place Parallel Convergence(W) on the target's escape path as Kayn closes in, so Rhaast's knockup keeps them in its area when it activates.
