||
| − | * By aiming {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} in brushes and watching your cooldowns while listening for the {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} hit sound, you can see if enemies are hiding in a [[brush]]. |
||
| − | ** Keep an eye on your {{ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}} stacks and whether they increase. This aspect allows you to check brush with {{ci|Ezreal|Ezreal's}} other abilities as well. |
||
| − | * If attacking a tower with an ally, you can use {{ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} on them to boost their attack speed. Hitting the friendly champion will also increase the stacks and duration of your passive {{ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}}. |
||
| − | * In the lane, {{ci|Ezreal|Ezreal's}} early burst damage and poke is very high. Combine this with a lane partner or jungler's crowd control to get some kills. |
||
| − | * Do not underestimate {{ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal|Essence Flux's}} damage, espeically with a bit of [[Ability Power]]. With some aim, AP {{ci|Ezreal}} can easily harass and burst enemies down safely behind minions. |
||
| − | *Remember that {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} can be used to jump terrain spots and walls in the jungle. It is your best escape mechanism. |
||
| − | **Be careful using it offensively in a skirmish as people will know to focus you while it's on cooldown. |
||
| − | **Take note of the surrounding area. If {{ci|Ezreal}} is low on health and tries to {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} over a wall, the escape attempt will be pointless if the homing missile targets a jungle monster and pulls aggro. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | * Do not hesitate to use {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} to just farm a creep wave or defend a [[turret]]. By spamming {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} the cooldown for {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} will come back up very quickly. With maxed [[cooldown reduction]], its [[cooldown]] can end up as low as 30 seconds. |
||
| − | * {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} can be used at the beginning of a team fight to instantly gain 5 stacks of {{ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}}. |
||
| − | *{{ci|Ezreal}}'s strength grows considerably when equipped with both neutral buffs, start getting them as soon as possible. |
||
| − | **With some wards, {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} can be used to steal the enemy's own buffs. |
||
| − | *{{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} can and be saved when in a teamfight or on a one on one situation to last hit or to finish off a enemy if they run away. Since the range is global and does massive amounts of damage you can defeat any champion with a method of escape. e.g {{ci|LeBlanc}} using her {{ai|Distortion|LeBlanc}} and then following up with {{ai|Mimic Distortion|LeBlanc}} would not be able to escape a well aimed {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}}. |
||
| − | **Although {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} is a channeled ability, you cannot stop the channel with hard CC. The only way to prevent Ezreal from ulting mid-cast is by killing him. |
||
| − | **Never forget that {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} is global and you may be able to snipe a enemy champion from all the way across the map if you have good aim. You can also use it to soften up a enemy that you are aiming to fight. |
||
| − | **If you decide to snipe a fleeing enemy, make sure they don't have any sort of heal, shield or invulnerability. |
||
| − | **Use {{Ability_icon|Trueshot Barrage }}when the enemy has no vision of Ezreal, so they will be unable to warn their teammates. |
||
| − | ***Also note that {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} can be seen through the fog, so a wary opponent can watch for it and avoid it from a distance. |
||
| − | ** {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} has a channel time upfront and is easily dodged by skilled players. For this reason, it is often a good idea to use it to hit an entire team immediately after the battle starts, dealing significant total damage and granting multiple stacks of {{ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}}. |
||
| − | **{{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} is especially powerful in Dominion, delaying enemies' attempts to capture your towers and buying crucial time. Due to its relatively low cool down in conjunction with {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}, use it wisely and use it often. |
||
| − | *Smart casting will give you a faster response time, allowing you to hit more abilities. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | ==Build usage== |
||
| + | [[File:Ezreal Champion Spotlight|center]] |
||
| − | * {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} deals physical damage. Stacking up on [[armor penetration]] runes greatly increase the damage this skill deals, especially in the lower levels. |
||
| − | *{{ci|Ezreal}} has several options regarding using [[armor penetration]] and [[armor reduction]] in all of his builds (Mind the notes regarding [[Armor Penetration#Notes|armor penetration]]): |
||
| − | ** {{Ii|The Brutalizer}} is a good early [[item]] for an [[attack damage]] or hybrid ([[attack damage]] and [[ability Power|ability power]]) build, granting attack damage, armor penetration, and cooldown reduction. |
||
| − | ** {{ii|The Black Cleaver}} can be used as an all-around item complementing well into mid to late-phase. While a less to not-effective option for ability power, its strength for {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} and improving auto-attacks with [[attack speed]], [[attack damage]] and [[armor reduction]] make it a good item against low - mid [[Armor|armor]] champions. |
||
| − | ** {{ii|Last Whisper}} complements {{ci|Ezreal}} for {{ai|Mystic Shot}} and attack damage. While less-useful for regular auto-attack than {{ii|The Black Cleaver}}, the [[Armor Penetration|armor penetration]] is the strongest against mid-high armor stacking champions, it is an amazing item against tougher enemies. Its low cost makes it an affordable purchase in the early-phase. However, it's not exactly suitable for ability power and/or hybrid builds as {{ii|Youmuu's Ghostblade}} is. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | ** Physical damage per second plays like a ranged damage per second, utilizing autoattacks, {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} and {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} for burst damage, and other abilities for utility and supplementary damage. |
||
| − | ** Caster damage per second plays like an [[area of effect]] caster, utilizing {{ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} and {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} to damage multiple targets in battles while using {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} for supplementary damage and cooldown reduction. |
||
| − | *If you get {{ii|Wriggle's Lantern}} you can turn {{ci|Ezreal}} into a very fast jungler and increase his farming considerably. |
||
| − | *{{ii|Tear of the Goddess}} is a good item early game (upgrading to {{ii|Manamune}} or {{ii|Archangel's Staff}} later on) if you run out of mana too quickly. |
||
| − | *The casting of {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} procs {{ii|Sheen}}'s damage buff, which is then applied when the shot hits the target, thus increasing its damage. |
||
| − | **If you miss {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}, auto attack the enemy once before casting {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} again. Same applies for using other abilities before casting {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}, as not using the {{ii|Sheen}} can decrease DPS considerably. |
||
| − | ** If using a primarily AP build, it is much better to go with {{Item_icon|Lich Bane}} than {{Item_icon|Trinity Force}} to improve this proc. |
||
| − | * {{ii|Guinsoo's Rageblade}} can be stacked quickly using {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}. On cast it procs one stack, and procs a second stack if it hits the target. |
||
| − | * As {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} applies on-hit effects, you can harass enemies with it easily. Add a {{ii|Madred's Bloodrazor}} to maximize damage against enemies who stack health. |
||
| − | **{{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} will proc the auto attack charges for {{ci|Ezreal}} and in doing so, proc {{ii|Ionic Spark}}'s passive, giving him even more AOE damage in team fights. |
||
| − | *{{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} cannot critically strike, so building items like {{ii|Infinity Edge}} would be less effective than building an item like {{ii|The Bloodthirster}} unless you are unable to maintain stacks. |
||
| − | * When building AP, {{ii|Morello's Evil Tome}} and {{ii|Ionian Boots of Lucidity}} will boost your damage output by providing 35% CDR, 75 AP, and 12 MP5. |
||
| − | * {{ii|Phage}} / {{ii|Trinity Force}} improve his kiting ability, and grant him a slow. |
||
| − | ** If using a primarily AP build, it is much better to go with {{Item_icon|Lich Bane}}. |
||
| − | * Dependant what you build, Ezreal can choose to pick up an {{ii|Archangel's Staff}}, {{ii|Manamune}} or both. |
||
| − | ** Within the preparation phase of Dominion in the early 1:20 minutes, Ezreal can start collecting [[Mana]] with {{ii|Tear of the Goddess}} by keeping every ability on [[Cooldown]]. This can serve as a minor improvement for the early phases. |
||
| − | ** While the bonus Mana pool of {{ii|Archangel's Staff}} and {{ii|Manamune}} are the same, they compliment each other very well. Getting both requires a high level of farm though. Nevertheless, each item is very useful if quickly farmed and can be a fundamental part of most builds. |
||
| − | *{{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} can trigger {{ii|Lich Bane}}'s passive, making it a core item on any AP build since it increases {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}'s AP ratio from .2 to 1.2. |
||
| − | *{{ii|Nashor's Tooth}} is perfect for both AD or AP {{ci|Ezreal}} as it provides [[Attack Speed]], [[Cooldown Reduction]] to continiously spam {{ai|Mystic Shot}}, [[Mana Regen]] to make sure you don't run out of [[mana]] so quickly, and [[Ability Power]] to increase all Ezreal's ability damage, and all for a relatively low cost. |

||
| − | * {{ci|Ezreal}} is fairly squishy at early game. Harassing him early will hinder his gold and experience gain. |
||
| + | |map = Summoner's Rift |
||
| − | * Three of his spells deal magic damage. Buying a {{ii|Negatron Cloak}} or {{ii|Mercury's Treads}} early will help you mitigate his damage if he builds towards those spells. |
||
| + | |s1 = Doran's Blade |
||
| − | * {{cai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} has a global range. Take care when recalling when your health is low. |

||

||
| − | * All of {{Character_icon|Ezreal}}'s abilities are [[skill shot]]s. Buying [[movement speed]] items will make it easier to evade his spells. |
||
| + | |ea1 = Tear of the Goddess |
||
| − | * When 1v1ing an {{ci|Ezreal}} as {{ci|Ezreal}}, try using {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} to dodge their first {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}. Immediately, you are in a good place to chase them, have dealt more damage, built a stack on {{ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}}, and have a cooldown advantage. If you can dodge {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} while they are casting {{ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}}, you will have an even greater advantage. For this reason, be careful using {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} offensively against another {{ci|Ezreal}}. |
||
| + | |ea2 = Sheen |
||
| − | * {{ci|Ezreal}} cannot trade fairly during close combat and rely on poking as much as possible. Having a champ that can dash or blink towards him (ie {{ci|Xin Zhao}} , {{ci|Diana}} , {{ci|Irelia}} ) would cost {{ci|Ezreal}} his blink to run away from the team fight and be isolated from the defending allies causing his death. |

||
| + | * To farm or take objectives faster, use your {{Ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} and then {{Ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} right into it for an attack speed buff. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | ** (Note: this no longer applies since the rework changed {{Ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} to instead detonate for extra damage if attacked again by {{ci|Ezreal}}) It will be extra beneficial to hit allies with {{Ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} as well in the process, as it will not only grant them bonus attack speed as well but also boost your own even more due to {{Ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}}. |
||
| + | * Use your {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} to acquire hard to reach farm or to harass your lane opponent. Due to its versatility, it is usually taken first for both AP and AD {{Ci|Ezreal}} and then maxed first for AD {{Ci|Ezreal}}. |
||
| + | * Hold on to your {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} to dodge crucial enemy skillshots. |
||
| + | ** Although {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} deals decent damage, it shouldn't be used to do so as it is {{Cis|Ezreal}} only form of mobility. The projectile from the ability is also rather unreliable since it does not prioritise enemy champions. |
||
| + | * Use {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} to push waves in your favor. It can also be used similar to {{cai|Hawkshot|Ashe}} for scouting, especially when you have high CDR. |
||
| + | * Do not forget to auto attack in between {{ais|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}}. This significantly increases your DPS, especially with a fully stacked {{ii|Manamune}} ({{ii|Muramana}}). |
||
| + | * Landing {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} is extremely crucial as it reduces all of {{Cis|Ezreal}} cooldowns thus allowing him to kite with {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} and clear waves faster or snipe targets with {{ai|Trueshot Barrage|Ezreal}} along with just generally increasing his DPS. |
||
| + | * For AD {{Ci|Ezreal}}, {{Ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} is rather weak since it does not scale with AD. However, it can still be used for an extra {{ii|Sheen}} proc or simply to give your team, and by extension yourself, extra attack speed. |
||
| + | ** For AP {{Ci|Ezreal}}, {{Ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} is your main source of damage due to its high AP scaling and added bonus passing through all units that it hits. |
||
| + | |||
| + | ;Rune Usage |
||
| + | * {{ci|Ezreal}} utilizes {{ri|Kleptomancy}} better than any other champion in the game except for {{ci|Gangplank}}. |
||
| + | ** {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} immediately procs {{ri|Kleptomancy}} because it applies on-hit. |
||
| + | *** Use your long range poke to poke out enemy champions, and gain free {{ri|Kleptomancy}} consumables. |
||
| + | **** Sell unwanted {{ri|Kleptomancy}} consumables in the shop for a bit of extra gold. |
||
| + | * Take {{ri|Future's Market}} because {{ci|Ezreal}} is item-reliant. It allows you to get into debt (negative gold) to purchase items quicker than usual. |
||
| + | ** {{ri|Future's Market}} combined with {{ri|Kleptomancy}} allows you to purchase your core items much quicker than usual. |
||
| + | * {{ri|Cosmic Insight}} gives free CDR and increases the CDR cap to 45%. It also reduces summoner spell and item active cooldowns by 5%. |
||
| + | * You can also swap out {{ri|Cosmic Insight}} for {{ri|Time Warp Tonic}}. |
||
| + | ** {{ri|Time Warp Tonic}} increases the duration of your potions and {{ri|Kleptomancy}} consumables by 20% and grants 5% movement speed throughout the duration. |
||
| + | *You almost always want to take [[Sorcery]] secondary because it offers two great runes that benefit {{ci|Ezreal}} well. |
||
| + | **{{ri|Manaflow Band}} increases your permanent mana pool up to 250 mana. |
||
| + | ***The mana increase also synergizes with {{ii|Manamune}}/{{ii|Muramana}} passive as these two items grant bonus AD equal to 2% of your maximum mana pool. |
||
| + | **{{ri|Transcendence}} gives free 10% CDR at level 10. You gain either 2 Ability Power or 1.2 '''bonus''' Attack Damage (Adaptive) for every 1% CDR in excess of the cap. |
||
| + | ***This rune works perfectly with the other CDR you get from items and/or runes. |
||
| + | **If you feel like the game will go long, you can always consider {{ri|Gathering Storm}} as it gives extra AD or AP every 10 minutes throughout the entire game. |
||
| + | **Another rune even though it's not great nowadays is {{ri|Scorch}}. It gives added burn damage to your poke. |
||
| + | ***It is not that great because most players are taking defensive rune setups and defensive items, thus lowering {{ri|Scorch}} damage output. |
||
| + | |||
| + | ;Item Usage |
||
| + | * You always want to get {{ii|Tear of the Goddess}} as quick as possible and start stacking the item. The more you delay buying this item, the longer it takes for you to come online and start dealing damage. |
||
| + | * Ezreal has one of the best two item powerspike in the entire game. That consists of building a {{ii|Manamune}} transformed into a {{ii|Muramana}} and {{ii|Trinity Force}}. |
||
| + | ** These two items provide everything that {{ci|Ezreal}} needs. |
||
| + | *** {{ii|Manamune}}/{{ii|Muramana}} gives all the mana he needs to constantly output damage. |
||
| + | **** These two items grant bonus AD equal to 2% of his maximum mana pool. |
||
| + | *** All the {{ii|Trinity Force}} components give a mix of great stats that benefit {{ci|Ezreal}}. {{ii|Trinity Force}} will amplify the stats that the individual components provide. |
||
| + | **** {{ii|Phage}} gives AD and Health. The Rage passive from this item works with {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} for bonus movement speed even though the bonuses are halved for ranged champions. |
||
| + | **** {{ii|Sheen}} bonus damage works with your {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} automatically. It also gives you extra valuable mana. |
||
| + | **** {{ii|Stinger}} gives excellent attack speed which combined with {{ai|Rising Spell Force|Ezreal}} + {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} into the {{ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} projectile gives you another source of DPS. {{ii|Stinger}} also gives CDR. |
||
| + | * {{ii|Blade of the Ruined King}} is a good DPS item as it grants bonus attack damage, attack speed and bonus on-hit damage with a scale of enemy’s current health that helps {{ci|Ezreal}} take out units with high maximum health more quickly. |
||
| + | ** The item active helps {{ci|Ezreal}} to slow down enemies in order to land his skillshots more easily. |
||
| + | * {{ii|The Bloodthirster}} and {{ii|Blade of the Ruined King}} provide with lifesteal that allows him to survives better and regains health after skirmishes and fights. |
||
| + | * {{ii|Essence Reaver}} dramatically increases {{cis|Ezreal}} damage output with bonus attack damage and bonus mana that scales with {{iis|Muramana}} on-hit damage. |
||
| + | ** This item also gives CDR, which is one of {{cis|Ezreal}} preferred stats. |
||
| + | ** '''Essence Flare''' is useful for {{ci|Ezreal}} to refreshes {{ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} and {{ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} more quickly. |
||
| + | * Buying {{ii|Archangel's Staff}} after completing three or four items and later upgrading it into {{ii|Seraph's Embrace}} is considered a good idea because it gives a huge amount of mana and ability power, which all of {{cis|Ezreal}} abilities scale with. |
||
| + | ** More importantly, since '''Awe''' from {{ii|Muramana}} and {{ii|Seraph's Embrace}} does stack with each other, this is an unexpectedly good combo for a hybrid build. |
||
| + | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | * {{Ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} has a moderately long cooldown, use this period to your advantage. |
||
| + | * Due to {{ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} and {{Ai|Arcane Shift|Ezreal}} being single target and {{Ai|Essence Flux|Ezreal}} being able to only hit champions, {{Ci|Ezreal}} has very poor waveclear. |
||
| + | * Avoid {{Ai|Mystic Shot|Ezreal}} if he builds {{ii|Trinity Force}} and {{ii|Duskblade of Draktharr}}, as a single shot from {{Ci|Ezreal}} with the above items can deal massive damage if you do not have sufficient armor. |

Strategy is highly subjective and may become outdated without any notice. Because of this, the League of Legends Wiki has decided to retire strategy pages and would recommend using other platforms (such as YouTube) to find guides. For more information visit this thread.
