How to win lane as Kai'Sa against Ezreal · 54.57% win rate over 41,293 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Level 1 favours Ezreal because Mystic Shot pokes you safely from outside your range. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | Level 2 stays Ezreal's as his Q poke and E mobility keep him fully safe. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | Level 3 remains his since Arcane Shift dodges any all-in you or your support attempt. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as your resistances grow and you punish his E cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even-to-yours because R finally gives you gap-close against his poke. |
| First item | Kai'Sa | First item favours you as your evolution burst deletes him when his E is down. |
| Two+ items | Kai'Sa | With 2+ items you win decisively, out-DPSing and out-bursting his no-burst poke kit. |
Levels 1-3 are Ezreal's: his Mystic Shot out-ranges your trades and pokes you down, while his E Arcane Shift dodges your step-ins and any support CC, so you simply can't all-in him yet; farm safe, dodge Q and don't feed his stacks.
