Guide to Synergizing Ezreal and Zilean

Tips for Playing as Ezreal with Zilean

Use Arcane Shift to help line up your other skill shots.

You can line up Trueshot Barrage to hit multiple minion waves or even Monsters.

You can play Ezreal either as a Attack Damage carry or Ability Power carry depending on how you build him.

Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
