| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Lucian keeps out-dueling through 4-5 whenever his Q is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | Lucian's Culling hard-kills a blinked-out Ezreal at 6. |

Levels 1-2 you crush Ezreal in the stat check. His base auto damage is famously low and he depends on Mystic Shot poke, while your Lightslinger passive doubles every ability into extra burst. Dodge his Q by standing behind minions, punish him whenever it's on cooldown, and last-hit freely since he has no way to contest you at short range early.
