How to win lane as Samira against Ezreal · 55.57% win rate over 8,911 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Samira | Ezreal deals little early damage and has only Arcane Shift, so you step up and stack passive freely. |
| Level 2 | Samira | At 2 your trades win because he cannot answer a committed step-up without blowing his blink. |
| Level 3 | Samira | Level 3 E plus W lets you dash onto him the moment his single escape is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Samira | Through 4-5 you keep initiative by tracking and baiting his Arcane Shift cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Your Inferno converts a spent blink or support CC into a lethal all-in. |
| First item | Samira | A first-item spike lands harder than a stack-dependent Ezreal's soft early damage. |
| Two+ items | Samira | In fights his lone blink lets you flank and delete him once Arcane Shift is down. |
Levels 1-2 favor you. Ezreal is a safe but low-damage early laner whose only defense is Arcane Shift, so step up to contest the wave and stack passive whenever he walks forward to Q. Last-hit behind casters to dodge his Mystic Shot, hold your E for the all-in, and pressure him to blow his blink defensively.
