Playstyle
Essence Flux scales with ability power and hands allies attack speed on the way through. The Gunblade active is the engage: slow the target, then land W into Q. Arcane Shift still gets you out, and Trueshot Barrage is area magic damage that both clears a wave and softens a fight before you take it.
A utility ADC who snowballs with skillshot poke and mobility.

Playstyle
Keep landing Q (Mystic Shot) to cut cooldowns and refund mana while poking the lane. E (Arcane Shift) to reposition and chain skillshots is his identity. Muramana/Trinity build for sustained damage, and R (Trueshot Barrage) for long-range finishes and joins.
A poke AP Ezreal built around Q (Mystic Shot)'s magic ratio. Damage comes from spells.

Playstyle
Maximize Q (Mystic Shot)'s magic ratio to poke from range. Lich Bane adds auto-attack burst and Deathfire Grasp adds a combo spike. Reposition with E (Arcane Shift) and finish with the ult — a safe, poke-heavy playstyle.
