How to beat Seraphine as Ezreal: the early game

Level 1 is even-to-yours before her kit is online, but from 2 to 5 Seraphine takes the lane — High Note out-pokes you, her W shields and heals, and Beat Drop roots you — so dodge her E, stay unslowed, and don't contest her poke. Her Notes only build on ability hits, so pick ground where one skillshot cannot catch you and a minion together. Force the shield with a Q you can afford to spend and take the real window behind it. Her Beat Drop is what sets up the all-in, so keep the blink ready rather than using it to reposition for farm.
