Read from Tristana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ezreal.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tristana | Your auto pressure beats Ezreal's thin level 1 poke. |
| Level 2 | Tristana | Level 2 E stacking outmatches his Mystic Shot harass. |
| Level 3 | Tristana | Level 3 you punish his Arcane Shift cooldown with the jump. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tristana | Through 4-5 you keep dictating trades he cannot escape. |
| Level 6 | Tristana | Buster Shot plus your ult out-enable his poke-only ultimate. |
| First item | Tristana | First-item E burst spikes before his tear build online. |
| Two+ items | Tristana | Your jump leaps his poke range and out-bursts him late. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Ezreal relies on Mystic Shot poke and has thin early damage, so your auto pressure and E stacking win the exchange. Punish him whenever he steps up to poke and force him off farm. His damage is thin and his poke is dodgeable, so punish every step-up and let the bomb ticks carry the exchange. Keep the jump for the moment his blink is spent. Take the plate on the crash rather than chasing him past your own vision, since he leaves any fight he does not want.
