Read from Xayah's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ezreal.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Xayah | You hold lane against his weak early poke and stack feathers at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Xayah | At 2 your W trade beats his low-base-damage harass. |
| Level 3 | Xayah | Level 3 gives you an E root that beats his single Arcane Shift escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Xayah | Through 4-5 your all-in punishes his awkward, item-dependent window. |
| Level 6 | Xayah | Featherstorm at 6 dodges his ult and lets you commit through Mystic Shot. |
| First item | Xayah | At one item your reset burst kills him before his tempo scaling ramps. |
| Two+ items | Xayah | With 2+ items your untargetable R and root punish a one-dash, no-peel Ezreal in fights. |
Levels 1-2 Ezreal pokes with Mystic Shot but has low base damage and wants to farm safely, so hold your ground, last-hit behind minions, and don't over-respect his Q chip. Seed Double Daggers feathers on the wave; he has no early all-in threat against you without a lockdown support. His base damage is low and he wants a quiet farm, so hold your ground, last-hit behind minions and let the feathers accumulate. Poke with the daggers rather than autos while his blink is up. Once it is spent, the callback plus your support is a root he has no way to leave.
