Ekko: repeat Predictions and grow the copy you want to draw

Ekko's engine is repeated Predict, cheap champion spells and new champion entries. Instead of a generic stat package, this build runs Echoing Spirit, Stalker's Blade and Guardian's Orb, a popular summon package. Six stars strengthens individual units seen in Predict; it does not make every copy share one accumulated stat line.

Echoing Spirit

Extra created champion copies improve access to Ekko. The champion-spell discount combines with his created-card discount to make his champion spell cheap, helping draw and add Parallel Convergence to the deck.

Stalker's Blade

The entry Strike can generate Time Trick if Ekko actually Strikes a target. Repeated summons from copying or revival effects can repeat this payoff; an empty enemy board gives no Strike target.

Guardian's Orb

Every summon distributes random Epic items. Champion copies and revival attacks provide more opportunities, but a useful specific item is never guaranteed. Extra draw items can also cause hand overflow.

Prioritize access to Time Trick and other Predictions. Looking at a unit in a Prediction applies the star-power upgrade to that particular copy; selecting another copy later does not mean both share the same accumulated stats. At six stars repeated views double stats, so decide whether to keep growing a payoff or draw it now.

Use the champion strike and cheap created spells to sustain the engine. Chronobreak and Parallel Convergence provide ways to repeat attacks once available. Don't add too much draw to the main spell: your hand can fill up and burn the important payoff.

Prioritize cheap Predict effects and access to Time Trick. Keep the deck focused enough to find the copy or payoff you want. Don't stack extra draw on the already drawing spell: a full hand can burn the attack or revival spell you needed.

Black Shield protects the champion setup from removal. A second Stalker's Blade or Guardian's Orb trades protection for additional entry payoff. Chosen by the Stars is an alternative when one large champion needs combat keywords and scaling.

Oath of the Guardians with Star Gem is a separate champion-draft plan. Mixing it into the repeated-Ekko package dilutes the deck and makes specific generated spells and item targets harder to find. Copies don't always keep existing Predict buffs, so don't count on every copy effect carrying them over.
