© Riot Games. Used under Legal Jibber Jabber.How Gekko works
Think ahead about where used companions will land. A recoverable ability is more valuable if you can safely retrieve it.
What to do during a round
Use Dizzy to probe a defended angle and send Wingman to pressure a plant or defuse while teammates protect the path.
ABILITIES EXPLAINED
Abilities & ultimate
What each ability does and when to use it in a real match.
01Basic
Mosh Pit
Throw an explosive creature that denies an area after a delay.
02Basic
Wingman
Send a companion forward to affect enemies or interact with the Spike when conditions permit.
04Ultimate
Thrash
Take control of a powerful companion that can detain opponents.
Passive / unique resource
Some Gekko companions leave recoverable globules after use; safe retrieval lets you use them again.
When to activate the ultimate
Thrash is a strong opening tool. Announce which space you plan to clear so the rest of the team can act on it.
A common mistake to avoid
Do not risk a certain death to reclaim an ability; resetting the fight is often more important.
