Ezra TheodoreBuild and Guide

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 does provide healing depending on how many mushrooms are on the field, 8% each per mushroom. And every single one of his skills and ultimate will plant a mushroom that grows every round. Essentially, the way it works is once it is “planted” from using his skill or ultimate, it’ll grow once every round and mature after growing 3 rounds and depending on if you’re growing a [Honey Fungus] or [Ghost Fungus] it will inflict either [Vulnerability] (Damage Reduction) or [Discernment] (which is Crit DMG+ 40%) 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 most of which its dmg comes from the Genesis DMG portion of it 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 Eureka to all allies and also plants the maximum amount of [Honey Fungus] possible while maturing all mushrooms. The moxie gained from his ultimate alongside the Eureka generation, makes this a very useful ultimate that can benefit various teams.

Ezra as already mentioned does generate Eureka from his ultimate, the other way to generate Eureka would be from his Insight I giving him Eureka when entering battle. Eureka is useful for his kit in multitudes of ways, with Insight I, he can consume 2 to grow any Mushroom if the maximum amount of the corresponding mushroom is planted. And with Insight III, if the maximum amount of mushrooms are planted and the mushroom corresponding to the skill is not present, 2 Eureka will be consumed to increase his Moxie by 1. 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.
