@Cat2006house "Admittedly his Parallel Convergence.png Parallel Convergence is unique but that doesn't excuse the rest of his kit being cliched. And what does this ability have anything to do with his lore other than his clone randomly shown up to "drop" the zone?"

This ability is a reason for why lore-friendly explanations of the skills should be a thing.

Ekko's Z-drive allows him to travel back in time, essentially shifting the reality into a parallel one, where he never did what his Z-drive undid. His 'clone' is the reflection of Ekko in this parallel reality, showing where he would be if the Z-drive was used.

Now, Parallel Convergence, as the name suggests, is a very... complicated idea. Ekko basically forces the current reality and the alternate one to converge on one point. His alternate self 'spawns in' a little bit of his alternate reality into the one where actual Ekko resides. When current Ekko runs into the alternate reality zone, a convergence/paradox occurs, causing local time disturbance and effectively freezing time for everybody else (stunning them) while Ekko is able to manoeuvre this area of paradox safely, even use the altered flow of time to avoid hazards (hence the shield).

At least that is the explanation I came to after reading his lore, and reaching in my memory to other time-related shenanigans in fantasy/sci-fi.
