- Lv 3All three basic abilities at level 3Ezreal's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Ezreal hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Ezreal can start or win.
- Lv 16Ultimate rank 3 at level 16Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Ezreal can start or win.
Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
