Ezra TheodoreBuild and Guide

Last updated: 07/21/2025

Ezra is a support who can provide shields, various buffs, moxie, and Eureka to allies and himself. What you’ll likely notice instantly about Ezra’s kit is that he loses health on all of his skills, which might make you wonder: how do we even keep him alive? Well, his Insight III provides healing depending on how many mushrooms are on the field—8% each per mushroom. Plus, every single one of his skills and ultimate will plant a mushroom that grows every round. The way this works is once a mushroom is “planted” from using his skill or ultimate, it’ll grow once every round and mature after growing 3 rounds; depending on if you’re growing a [Honey Fungus] or [Ghost Fungus], it will either inflict [Vulnerability] (+25% Damage Taken) on enemies or grant [Discernment] (+40% Crit DMG) to all allies. He can speed up cycling simply by using his skills. Mushrooms will be vital in keeping Ezra alive and applying the various buffs.

Looking more directly into what his skills do, [Protection to the Body] is pretty much his only means of doing damage. It’s a mass attack whose damage mostly comes from the Genesis DMG portion rather than the actual attack. Ezra’s other skill [Stimulus to the Mind] is a mass shield buff (which unfortunately lasts one round) that plants a [Ghost Fungus]. He can lose up to 15% of his current health on both of these skills. His ultimate, [Compassion All-Round] is a mass buff that grants 1 Moxie and 1 Eureka to all allies and also plants the maximum amount of [Honey Fungus] possible while maturing all mushrooms. His ultimate's Moxie and Eureka generation makes it a useful supportive tool.

While Ezra generates Eureka from his ultimate, he also gets Eureka from his Insight I passive, which gives him 2 Eureka when entering battle and 4 Eureka after casting his ultimate. Eureka is useful for his kit in a multitude of ways: his Insight I allows him to consume 2 Eureka to grow any Mushroom if the maximum amount of the corresponding mushroom is planted, and his Insight III allows him to consume 2 Eureka to increase his Moxie by 1 if the maximum amount of mushrooms are planted and the mushroom corresponding to the skill he cast is not present. This means that if you focus on planting [Ghost Fungus] when you use his ultimate, you should be able to give Ezra fairly consistent Moxie gain.

Overall, Ezra can be a bit hard to learn and a bit AP greedy just due to him needing to set up his mushrooms, but he works very well in his role as a sustain/support to provide crit buffs, moxie, and Eureka for the team if you can figure him out.

Ezra has two very distinct Euphoria buffs, one for each archetype he is meant to support:

• [Mycelium-Guided Wind Probe] for Dynamo, and

• [Spores of Ever-Burning Spark] for Bloodtithe.

[Mycelium-Guided Wind Probe] is all about feeding Dynamo into the [Pulsing Field] array. As more Dynamo is fed into the array, it gets stronger. This Euphoria buff gives him 10 [Dynamo] when entering battle and 10 [Dynamo] per action. At the end of the round, Ezra feeds up to 20 [Dynamo] into the array.

The rest of the Euphoria buff focuses on making a better shielder. The main takeaway is that his shields now last 2 rounds (finally) and stack on top of other shields. When the [Pulsing Field] array is at level 3, Ezra grants shields equal to that of his rank 2 buff whenever a mushroom matures. His mushrooms also mature instantly when [Pulsing Field] is level 2/3, and he plants 1 mushroom of each type at the start of the round. This makes him a very AP-positive shielder once you're set up.

Meanwhile, [Spores of Ever-Burning Spark] transforms Ezra into a self-damaging healer. His buff is now a healing incantation that heals more if his own HP is below 50%. He loses more HP when he casts a basic incantation while also planting 2 mushrooms instead of 1; if the max number of mushrooms have been planted, Ezra consumes the HP of all allies to grow all his mushrooms 1 time. Ezra is also quite AP-positive as a healer; at the start of the round and whenever a mushroom matures, all allies recover some HP.

As a final note, Dynamo Ezra has seen a lot more play than Bloodtithe Ezra due to Dynamo lacking teammates. Bloodtithe Ezra can be replaced by other healers like Fatutu and Euphoria Medicine Pocket, but Dynamo has no dedicated sustain other than Ezra as of writing this. Dynamo also really, really needed three teammates to get its array to level 3 in a reasonable amount of time; before Charon's release in 3.0, Ezra was the only way to do so.
