How to win lane as Ezreal against Zeri · 46.56% win rate over 6,895 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Level 1 favours you: Zeri's short-range auto-Q and no burst let your Mystic Shot harass freely. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | Level 2 favours you: your Q poke punishes her weak early walk-ups before she has any trade tool. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | Level 3 favours you: you outrange her and dodge her long-cooldown Ultrashock Laser easily. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ezreal | Levels 4-5 favour you: continued poke and a tower-locked wave starve her scaling. |
| Level 6 | Ezreal | Level 6 is still yours: your lane lead means her fresh R can't yet out-damage your range and poke. |
| First item | Zeri | First item favours Zeri: her attack-speed and R scaling spike snowballs her DPS and mobility. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | Two-plus items favour you: max-range Q and E disengage out-space her squishy short-range frame. |
You beat Zeri levels 1-2: her auto-Q is short-range chip and she lacks burst, so harass her with Mystic Shot on every walk-up and last-hit safely while she struggles to trade back.
