That being said, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer. Being one of League of Legends\u2019 earlier champions, Ezreal has been through many versions, as well as seen and survived the countless metas the game has gone through.

Contents Who is Ezreal? – Ezreal Abilities and Gameplay – Best Builds for Ezreal – Best Runes for Ezreal – Ezreal Skins in League of Legends – General Ezreal Tips and Tricks – Who is Ezreal? Born in Piltover, Ezreal was the son of two renowned archaeologists. During his time as a child, he always had a knack for exploring, and wanted to go on adventures for himself. When his parents both mysteriously disappeared one day and didn\u2019t return from adventuring, Ezreal took it upon himself to find them. Whilst doing so, he stumbled across a gleaming bronze gauntlet, which when he put it on aligned with him. From then on out Ezreal would go on adventures, with his magical gauntlet in hand. On Summoner\u2019s Rift, Ezreal is a slippery burst\/ poke attack damage carry, with his magic gauntlet in hand, he blasts everything and anything he needs in his path of adventure. Ezreal Abilities and Gameplay Ezreal is known for two things in League of Legends. Burst and mobility. With his gauntlet equipped, he\u2019s able to fire off abilities at a long-range, whilst combining them together for devastating damage that can catch enemies off guard. While in lane, Ezreal\u2019s main focus is to farm while poking down his enemies. His laning phase isn\u2019t anything too incredible, and he often relies on a support or jungler to help lock down enemies for takedowns. Ezreal really starts to shine once he\u2019s gotten a sheen item, attack damage, and ability haste. From there he\u2019s able to fire his abilities off in rapid succession, making his damage output pretty formidable. Often in teamfights Ezreal wants to be playing in the backline, firing off skill shots to slowly break down the frontline. That being said, skilled Ezreal players will know their combo and damage well enough to dive in and finish off enemies, scoring vital takedowns for his team. Passive: Rising Spell Force \u2013 Ezreal gains increasing Attack Speed each time he successfully hits a spell, stacking up to 5 times. – Q: Mystic Shot \u2013 Ezreal fires a damaging bolt of energy which reduces all of his cooldowns slightly if it strikes an enemy unit. – W: Essence Flux \u2013 Ezreal fires an orb that sticks to the first champion or objective hit. If Ezreal hits an enemy with the orb, it detonates and deals damage. – E: Arcane Shift \u2013 Ezreal teleports to a target nearby location and fires a honing bolt which strikes the nearest enemy unit. Prioritizes enemies stuck with Essence Flux. – R: Trueshot Barrage \u2013 Ezreal winds up before firing a powerful barrage of energy that deals massive damage to each unit it passes through (damage is reduced for minions and non-epic monsters). – Best Builds for Ezreal At the moment, Ezreal can go three different builds depending on the style you want to play him. Burst Ezreal You can optimize for a heavier burst build, which works well against squishier targets allowing you to deal ridiculously high damage, this often involves going items like Duskblade of Draktharr and Essence Reaver to frontload your damage. Burst Ezreal Build: Starting Item: Tear or Doran\u2019s Blade – Boots: Ionian Boots of Lucidity – Essence Reaver – Duskblade of Draktharr – Muramana – Serylda\u2019s Grudge – Ravenous Hydra – Essence Reaver, Duskblade, and Muramana are your key items here, they allow for your combo to deal immense damage in a short span of time. Kite Ezreal Going for a Kite Ezreal build revolves around using his Q to slowly kite back his enemies, this is a pretty consistent damage build and involves needing to consistently land Qs to lower your cooldowns. Your burst is much lower in this build, but you can keep the damage continuously pumping. Kite Ezreal Build: Starting Item: Doran\u2019s Sword – Essence Reaver – Kraken Slayer – Navori Quickblades – Serylda\u2019s Grudge – Ravenous Hydra or Frozen Heart – This build spikes when you have 3 items, instead of building a Muramana for mana sustain you\u2019ll be relying on Essence Reaver\u2019s mana generation for spamming out skills. Once at 60% critical strike, you\u2019ll be able to use Navori Quickblades, which like Ezreal\u2019s Q will lower the cooldown of other abilities. This synergy is what this entire build is based upon, and you\u2019ll notice a substantial difference when the items work together. Poke Ezreal Poke Ezreal is a bit of both worlds, it grants a decent chunk of burst whilst still allowing you to deal decent damage while you kite back. This build is probably considered the most traditional of builds and has been Ezreal\u2019s most utilized build in the past. Poke Ezreal Build: Starting Item: Tear of the Goddess or Doran\u2019s Sword – Trinity Force or Divine Sunderer – Muramana – Serylda\u2019s Grudge – Ravenous Hydra – Maw of Malmortius or Frozen Heart – Poke Ezreal relies on the sheen procs of either Trinity Force or Divine Sunderer to chip away at enemies. Generally speaking, this will come from your Q hitting enemies, but may also come from an auto attack if you\u2019re diving in for a bigger combo. This is the most flexible of Ezreal builds, and definitely makes Ezreal feel the most mage-like. Best Runes for Ezreal Like before, Ezreal\u2019s runes can go in 3 different ways. These rune builds should work in conjunction with your item builds for maximum effectiveness. Burst Ezreal Runes Burst Ezreal requires a more specific rune set than the other ones, as First Strike as a keystone is necessary to grant Ezreal that extra bit of damage as well as farm him so gold too. The burst Ezreal rune set looks as such: Press the Attack Runes Both Kite and Poke Ezreal can run Press The Attack well, and therefore is a matter of personal preference and situation. Press the Attack Runes for Ezreal to allow his laning phase to be a bit stronger, whilst also giving him some nice additional damage after he\u2019s able to auto-attack\/ Q the same enemy 3 times. Press the Attack is generally better for short trades, but can faller off later in the game. The Press the Attack runes set looks as such: Conqueror Runes Like before, Kite and Poke Ezreal can run Conqueror as an alternative to Press the Attack. Conqueror gives Ezreal more attack damage, and also healing through a fight. Needing to stack up to 12 times before fully activating, Conqueror is for longer extended trades, and is therefore a bit harder to pull off in lane. Conqueror however is great in long team fights, where Ezreal is able to proc it earlier on into the fight and keep the buff going. The Conqueror runes set looks as such: Ezreal Skins in League of Legends Nottingham Ezreal (Legacy) \u2013 520 RP – Striker Ezreal (Legacy) \u2013 520 RP – Frosted Ezreal \u2013 520 RP – Explorer Ezreal (Legacy) \u2013 750 RP – Pulsefire Ezreal \u2013 3250 RP – TPA Ezreal (Legacy) \u2013 750 RP – Debonair Ezreal \u2013 750 RP – Ace of Spades Ezreal \u2013 750 RP – Arcade Ezreal \u2013 1350 RP – Star Guardian Ezreal \u2013 1350 RP – SSG Ezreal (Legacy) \u2013 1350 RP – Pajama Guardian Ezreal \u2013 1350 RP – Battle Academia Ezreal \u2013 1820 RP – PsyOps Ezreal \u2013 1350 RP – Prestige PsyOps Ezreal \u2013 Mythic Essence Exclusive – Porcelain Protector Ezreal \u2013 1820 RP – General Ezreal Tips and Tricks Essence Flux Usage Whilst playing Ezreal, ensure you utilize your W: Essence Flux well. As Essence Flux sticks to a champion and doesn\u2019t deal damage, it means you can proc it with another ability for a big burst. This is particularly important in Burst Ezreal. Tear of the Goddess Stacking If you currently have a Tear of the Goddess, ensure that you continuously stack it throughout the match. Landing skills like Q: Mystic Shot and W: Essence Flux on champions will grant the most charges. Ensure you\u2019re consistently doing so throughout the match, as having a fully stacked Muramana is a massive spike for Ezreal. Mystic Shot Usage Use your Q well and often, Ezreal\u2019s Q is incredibly strong due to it reducing the cooldown of other abilities. Landing Mystic Shots is important, as a lot of your damage output depends on it. You can almost think of it as if it is Ezreal\u2019s auto attack in some ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
