Ezreal Build Guide by alexpal16

Introduction

This is my guide on how to play and use Ezreal in lane phase plus team battles and even more. I have been playing adc for a long time and i know how to play the position with Ezreal and other champs. This guide will teach you how to build this champ yes but also gives you the opportunity to learn things about him and be more skilled with him in the game.

Runes

First we will start with the runes which are pretty basic for an adc. First we have 9 Marks of attack damage these are for that extra ad you need in the game to help you get out extra damage early and overall. Next we have 9 seals of armor we take these to help in lane against the other adc so that you don't take as much damage and also helps you with all other ad champions as well. After that we get 9 glyphs of magic resistance we get these to help you fight against ap caster so they don't hurt as much when in game against them. Lastly we get 2 diffrent kinds of quints the first kind you get is 2 quints of life steal this mixed with the Doran's Blade will give you good lane sustain and let you get more heath back quickly when you get poked down by enemy adc and support.

Masteries

For are masteries you might be wondering why 23 in Offense? Well it is because of the champ Ezreal, he is a special adc he is an ad caster which means he has ability power mixed in with his abilities. to start in the attack masteries you get 2 in furry because this will help with his passive Rising Spell Force which increases his attack speed with every ability he uses, so the extra attack speed will help increase that passive for more attack speed. next we get 4 in Sorcery because this will help Ezreal spam his q Mystic Shot more often as you will have that extra cool down with your items as well. After that we go get 3 in Brut force to help you scale your ad throughout the game.Now after that we then get 1 in Martial Mastery for more ad increase this time not for scaling but in general to increase ad output. After all that we then get 3 in Executioner to help get that extra damage in when your enemy is low to finish them off. Now we go get 1 in Spell Weaving because when you hit that auto with Ezreal all his abilities take ap as well so it helps with the damage out put of his abilities. Next we get 3 in Overload to again increase you ad damage for better ad output in game. After that we get 1 on Blade Weaving because all of ezreal's abilities run off of ap so they are also considered a spell so the extra damage got by this will be very useful to his kit(his abilities). Next we get one on Dangerous Game this is just for the extra manna and heath so that can help you live in some cases and even go on further in a team fight. After that i go get 3 in Devastating Strikes we get this because it is very good for an adc to go though armor and magic resistance to get more damage out of their abilities. Lastly in offense we get Havoc for increase ad damage output. Next we go onto defense which is where we start with 2 in Enchanted Armor which again is good for an adc because it grants extra armor and magic resistance to help against damage output by ad and ap casters. Next we get 2 in Recovery which will help with heath re gen which is also good with the life steal you will get with this build from Doran's Blade. Last off on defense we get 1 in veteran scares which will help you take a tiny bit more poke in lane without losing to to much heath. Lastly we go to utility for something that is really useful on Ezreal which is 2 in Meditation which helps get that manna back when your stacking your passive with your w Essence Flux and using your q Mystic Shot to farm in lane or poke down enemy champions.

Items

For items your going to want to start with the regular adc start items which are Doran's Blade and one Health Potion with a Warding Totem. Doran's Blade will be used with that extra life steal in your quints to help with lane sustain. Next your going to rush Phage you get this because it gives you not only ad but heath and speed which are all something you need for and adc and this can help you tower dive using the e Arcane Shift Ezreal has. After Phage get a Vampiric Scepter which will help you with sustain in lane. After Vampiric Scepter go get some Boots of Speed for some move speed. Now before you get Trinity Force make sure you get a Sheen for extra damage and manna sustain. After you get Sheen go get your Trinity Force which is a great item for high damage out put and move speed increase, it also gives you some heath which is useful for facing champions more efficiently and this can give you some critical strikes as well. Next you will want to go get Ionian Boots of Lucidity for cooldown reduction. After those boots go grab a B. F. Sword for extra damage and so you can get closer to The Bloodthirster. After you get your B. F. Sword you need to go get The Bloodthirster which will give you some life steal for Ezreal. Then you will want to go get a Last Whisper to go through armor built by enemy champions for an easier kill. Next and lastly i get The Black Cleaver for more heath and armor pen with a good amount of ad to go with it. Now if there is a fed ap champion on their team i encourage the use of Mercurial Scimitar this item will help you duel against ap champs who are fed much better. For a fed ad champ i suggest ramduins omen this will give you a good amount of armor and and a slow against .

Team Work

When working with your team try to use your ult Trueshot Barrage not to finish champions off but use it in team battles to get more spread damage for your team and try to sit in the back and use your ranged abilities to help your team get damage on the enemy team. Try to use your q Mystic Shot to hit them from a distance as your team does damage as well. use your w's passive Essence Flux to help your team get more attack speed and so that you can keep your stacks of your passive Rising Spell Force. DO NOT JUST RUN INTO A TEAM FIGHT THINKING YOU CAN STAY THERE AND THEN E Arcane Shift OUT! You don't do this because most of the time after you use your e when in a team fight then will still focus you and catch up to you. Also don't e Arcane Shift into a team battle use it to position yourself to get damage on the enemy team.
