Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

!Warning! ONLY GO THIS EZREAL BUILD IF YOU ARE EXTREMELY COMPETENT ON EZREAL

This ezreal build is the best out of the 3 when it comes to late game. However, it is more reliant on you landing your skill shots because you do not have any attack speed items to compensate if you miss them.

Muramana: This is where pretty much all of your damage is coming from and is definitely the item you want to complete immediately on Ezreal with this build. 

UNIQUE – SHOCK: Basic attacks against enemy champions consume 3% of current mana to deal 6% current mana bonus physical damage  This means that the more mana you have, the more damage you are going to do with this shock. Your Q activates the shock and therefore the item is viable on Ezreal

Iceborne Gauntlet: The first reason to go this is for the sheen passive. This activates when you use any ability and Ezreal is all about spamming abilities essentially(Being a caster marksman rather than an auto attack based one) . The second reason is the slow. This provides you easy kiting, and some area of effect damage. The third reason is the armor the item gives you. This makes you tankier than if you were to go trinity force making it annoying for opponents to deal with.

UNIQUE – SPELLBLADE: After using an ability, your next basic attack within 10 seconds deals 100% base AD bonus physical damage on-hit. It also deals 100% base AD physical damage to enemies surrounding the target and creates a icy zone for 2 seconds, which slows enemies within by 30%. The zone has a radius of 180 (+ 55% bonus armor) units (1.5 (begins after using the empowered attack) second cooldown). The damage is reduced by 50% against structures.

Frozen Heart: Now this is where it starts to get interesting. In place of the usual Blade of The Ruined King (BORK), we have a frozen heart. This is the part where this build starts to slow down in terms of power. It picks up later on though. Just trust me on this. Now, while you may be losing the attack speed from BORK and the Attack damage and the lifesteal, in exchange you get. 70 armor, 300 mana and 20 ability haste. The mana converts into damage on the Muramana as explained earlier. Ability haste is also a really useful stat to have on Ezreal as it allows you to spam more abilities. Finally, you become EVEN TANKIER with the 70 armor. This is also not including the best part of the item which is its passive. This passive slows the attack speed of nearby enemies and is a major cuck to anyone diving onto you.

UNIQUE – WINTER'S CARESS: Reduces the attack speed of nearby enemies by 20%. 

Abyssal Mask: To be completely honest, this is here because you need more mana and there are no other good items that give you mana to help with this build. HOWEVER, while saying this, you also get health and magic resistance, the other stat that you were missing to become super tanky to all forms of damage. It also grants you ability haste which as stated earlier, is an amazing stat to have on Ezreal. This item makes nearby enemies take more magic damage. This helps your team as well as you as you do a decent amount of magic damage with your (2) skill and your ultimate. I know that the item also has the eternity passive but to be honest it's not too relevant so i'm not going to say that its something that you buy the item for.

UNIQUE – ABYSSAL: Nearby enemy champions take 15% more magic damage (325 range). 

Liandry's Torment: Before the change to Mortal Reminder, it was situational whether you bought this item or mortal reminder. However, now with the nerf making it straight up worse and more expensive, this is the item to go. It seems weird but hear me out, this is almost a perfect item for Ezreal. The first reason for this is the madness passive. This increases all forms of damage by 1.2%, stacking up to 5 times, making the bonus damage 6%. Being that you will be consistantly hitting your opponents, this is essentially a second conquerer rune for you. The health makes you once again, EVEN TANKIER which is super annoying to deal with. And while the 70 Ability Power may not seem the most useful, Ezreal has some of the highest AP ratios out of any ADC in the game which makes it a fine stat to have. The best part though comes in the form of the Torment passive. 

UNIQUE – TORMENT: Ability damage deals 1% of target's maximum health magic damage over 3 seconds. This damage doubles if they are slowed or immobilized.

Because you get the slow from your iceborne gauntlet, it will be burning 6% of the enemy's maximum HP over 3 seconds and you will be constantly applying this with your (1)skill which is extremely oppressive to deal with.


All in all, this build is extremely hard to itemize against(due to the mix damage and mix forms of defense), very hard to dive(due to the tankiness and other factors) and CANNOT be ignored. This is the HIGHEST DPS Ezreal build out of the 3 when played properly. It has a small fall off at 3 items but ramps up massively at 4 and 5 items so do consider giving this a try if you are extremely proficient at Ezreal.


Build was inspired by my friend Infearmous. I do not believe he has any socials so I can't plug him but I will give him credit for coming up with the idea.

!Warning! ONLY GO THIS BUILD IF YOU ARE VERY COMPETENT ON EZREAL

Conquerer: Gives you the most damage out of any rune and is easily stacked. It's just the best. 

Gathering Storm: Best scaling rune in this tree. This build is all about scaling. Go it or you are trolling. 

Hunter Titan: Purely a good rune for the tenacity. In games that the tenacity is not needed, adaptive carapace is a good alternative.

Mana Flow Band: Build is all about stacking mana (Read description at builds portion of guide) . Gives you ALOT of damage.

You out DPS her, she is barely stronger than you in lane, you out poke her. Only thing she provides is her ultimate and even then, if it lands on you, its hard to kill you, plus you can just shift away so tbh she can't do anything
