Guide released on Mobafire still under construction, releasing "gameplay" section soon. just want to see what everyone thinks! 2/7/13

Introduction

If you DOWNVOTE the guide, TELL ME WHY. I am happy to listen to your feedback and improve! Guide is still under construction.

Hey everyone! I'm WalrusLemon and this is my first guide on Mobafire. I've been testing this build and setup for quite some time, with many successful games i thought it was time to share my build! is a fun champion to play, his ult allows you to snipe the enemy or secure kills! I created an AP guide because i've seen many guides here are for playing AD , i like playing AD but i felt that playing AD doesn't use Ezreal's abilities to its full potential. So i thought i would experiment a bit playing AP and had much success in game! Now that we have the intro, Lets get into the guide!

Pros/Cons

Pros:

High damage burst combo
Arcane Shift can be used as an escape mechanism or used offensively
Mystic Shot is great a great harass ability, and also great for kiting!
his ult Trueshot Barrage can safely secure a kill or help weaken the enemy in a team fight
Essence Flux is great for team fights
Last hit using Mystic Shot

Cons:

Squishy
May be hard to play for some people because 3/4 his abilities are skillshots
Weak early game, but shines mid and late game
needs items to be good
focused

Masteries

There is 21 in offense masteries for obvious reasons, the upgraded ability power and attack damage plus the increased movement speed using . I've picked for the cooldown reduction on and also picked to lower down the cooldowns even more, all the masteries tag along well with so you can use alot more often to escape or attack. I also picked one in to keep blue buff longer for more sustained mana in the laning phase.

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

- it increases 's ability damage ALOT.
- To help Ezreals low mana pool early game.
- It gives you a nice chunk of AP early game
- Magic resist to sustain longer in mid lane

Summoner Spells

, i usually pick this because it gives that extra "push" when attempting to kill an enemy champ.

, i pick this all the time! Using Ezreal's with gives you 2 escape mechanisms and offense!

i dont usually pick but if i did, i would tag it along with . This would give 3 escapes and 3 offense mechanisms :D

Ability Explanation

Mouse-over the icons to see ability description

Rising Spell Force: // 's steroid passive, It is great for attacking towers and also works well with .

Mystic Shot: // 's farm, harass, bush checker and kiting skill. I love the low cooldown and low mana cost, i like to use this to poke the enemy mid laner and use it to last hit minions.

Tips and Tricks

I suggest using SmartCasting with this ability
Use to harass the enemy and last hit minions
Use to check bushes

Essence Flux: // It only hits enemy champions, and if it hits an ally it increases their attack speed. This skill is great usage for team fights and does a great amount of damage (uses 80% ability power! WOW!)

Tips and Tricks

Don't use it often in the early game, it uses too much mana. use it if you REALLY have to (jungler gank, team-fight, etc.)
Use SmartCast
Try hitting enemy champs and your teammates while in a teamfight, you will do a lot of damage and at the same time you will buff your team!

Arcane Shift: // Basically just like but does damage and has a lower cooldown! It is a great gap-closer, escape, and finisher for fleeing enemy champs.

Tips and Tricks

// Try your best to conserve the ability, for incase you get into a sticky situation!
// Use it with Flash, its a great combo for evading nasty ganks
// Use it on fleeing enemies if you are sure you can secure the kill.

TrueShot Barrage: // A powerful global ult, its great for initiating teamfights and grabbing kills!

Tips and Tricks

// Predict the enemy movement when sniping with this ability, dont just ult on their exact position
// use during teamfight and damage all the enemy champs
// Use it to secure kills (fleeing, low enemies)

Skill Sequence

Ability Sequence Order

> > >

// I always follow this order, i max out first because i use it a lot for evading ganks and securing kills. second, i max its great for harassing,kiting, and last hitting minions. lastly i max , i max this out last because i feel it isnt much use until later game.

Items

Item Sequence

// Main damage source.

// When built with a good amount of AP, Lichbane makes your auto-attack do 75% of your ability power! Thats great for getting that extra push in attacking.

// I grab this because gets focused alot in teamfights, the active you get from Zhonya's can save your life or give you some extra time of survival in critical team fight moments.

// I love this item, 500 HEALTH and 80 ABILITY POWER. its everything needs for his squishy-ness and at the same time, give him extra damage. The passive slow also can pull some kills!

// Magic penetration to increase burst damage.

// Magic pen for EXTREME burst damage, increase move speed. i usually enchant with distortion so i can have flash earlier when its on cooldown, enchant with Furor if you prefer more aggresive.
