Gameplay notes

Micro decisions

§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsEzreal: combos & tips Wild Rift

Long-range poke combo
1 W W
2 Q Q

Mark the target with W, then use Q to trigger the W explosion (bonus damage + mana refund). Main long-range combo.

Engage combo
1 W W
2 E E
3 Q Q
4 AA

Mark with W, use E towards the target to trigger W + dodge/close in, Q for the burst, AA.

All-in combo
1 W W
2 Q Q
3 E E
4 Q Q
5 R R

W marks, Q reduces cooldowns, E to reposition, Q again for extra damage, R as a finisher.

Escape combo
1 E E
2 Q Q

E to dash away, Q backwards to maintain stacks and reduce the escape’s cooldowns.

Mechanical Tips

  • Mystic Shot (Q): Reduces the cooldowns of all abilities by approximately 1s with each hit. Spamming Q = virtually permanent abilities. Q also triggers on-hit effects (Trinity Force, Spellblade, etc.).
  • Essence Flux (W): Marks a target for 5 seconds. Triggers on any hit (Q, E, AA) — don’t wait; Q after W = guaranteed detonation.
  • Arcane Shift (E): Prioritises targets marked by W — using E on a marked target automatically triggers W. Use for escaping or engaging, depending on the situation.
  • Rising Spell Force passive: each ability that hits = +10% attack speed, up to 4 stacks. Spam abilities to reach the maximum stacks quickly.
  • Trueshot Barrage (R): ultra-long range, can span the entire map. Use to finish off fleeing enemies, assist another lane, or clear objectives.

Common Mistakes

  • Do not mark with W before Q — you’ll lose the bonus damage and mana refund.
  • Wasting E aggressively without an escape plan — E is your main escape move.
  • Casting R on a target with minions in front of them — the damage is reduced for each target hit.

Notable Interactions

  • Q casts Spellblade (Trinity Force) — each Q grants a bonus auto-attack; DPS is massively boosted with Trinity.
  • Prioritise E on W-marked targets — the W → E combo acts as an engage and triggers an automatic detonation.
  • R traverses the entire map — invaluable for chipping away at fleeing enemies in other lanes.
