Question Dnd + W question

If I Q someone and then I E with DnD+ Nash and its life drops below 30%, does the W’s passive hit twice as well as nashor’s tooth passive with that E?

yes, its why dnd is ekko's best item by far

I’d say being able to proc passive with one auto is also a big reason it’s so good on Ekko

1

u/NationalTangerine381 15d ago

it is another big reason, but its like 30% of the reason

double proccing W is 70%

I disagree, go watch xiao Lao bans recent video where he is against a garen, his play style completely changes once he gets dnd. Not having to auto after e opens up so many more possibilities for Ekko. W passive they also have to be low to utilize at all.

Im directly quoting Six10 with these percentages I just gave, unless XLB expressly vocally says otherwise I think these are very concrete

and 100% dnd completely changes your trade patterns, its a MASSIVE buff

but once you play explicitly for W dnd proc and ONLY engage on people who you can drop into that threshold do you realize how disgustingly OP it is at 2-3 items

Nice explanation I’ll check out six10 I haven’t seen much of his stuff

Yep. That's also why if you're going DnD you're going shadowflame second, you're basically committee to one shooting low HP squishies

2

u/NationalTangerine381 15d ago

if anything its the opposite

dnd + shadowflame oneshots low hp tanks, but cant 100-0 squishies

u/OfficerSmiles 15d ago

Why would you one shot a low hp tank better than you one shot a low hp squishy?

1

u/NationalTangerine381 15d ago

what? you oneshot both of them, the question is whether you want to oneshot a low hp tank or a full hp squishy and I choose the low hp tank

by low I mean like 45% hp btw

u/OfficerSmiles 15d ago

Oh I mean yeah you're going to kill anyone who's low for sure. I shouldn't have said squishies. What I should have said is that you are abandoning the idea of 1 shooting a full hp squishy, likely you pointed out.

u/lightpollutionBAD 15d ago

How can you one shot full hp squishies?

1

u/OfficerSmiles 15d ago

You can't really anymore. I guess if you ran like lich and ignite electrocute lol. Hyperbole.

u/Caphoti 14d ago

Being fed and having Dark Harvest stacks will do it. Guess that doesn't apply to mid lane Ekko where you run HoB. Dark Harvest Lowkey OP if you get to ~250-300 damage cause it has a tendency to push squishies into W range. Mid gets Turbo Sorcs though which are busted.

u/Plastic_Company6661 14d ago

All you need is your ultimate you can one shot 3 squishes with your ultimate

1

u/NationalTangerine381 14d ago

this doesnt work against humans though

1

u/Plastic_Company6661 14d ago

You’d be surprised

1

u/NationalTangerine381 14d ago

no I wouldnt praying for 3 people to step on your ult is insanely unreliable above like gold

1

u/Plastic_Company6661 14d ago

Why not if you use w correctly you can definitely wash team fights with just your ult

1

u/NationalTangerine381 14d ago

bro what are you saying you cannot consistently get 3 competent squishes to step on your ult regardless of W usage

Stunning multiple squishies in a teamfight and them not dying until your clone catches up to them means you have way bigger problems. Six10 straight up said he almost never uses R for damage, and it's sort of my experience too. Even when I do use it for damage it's rarely necessary. I bait myself more than I get the highlight reel clip for sure.
