What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Sandstorm Ekko worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

Here's what you get with Sandstorm Ekko: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Ekko move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

If one look isn't enough for you, Sandstorm Ekko comes with 7 different chroma options. That means once you own the base skin, you can pick up these color variants to match your mood or your team comp. Some players collect them all, while others just grab their favorite color.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made Sandstorm Ekko?
