Lore

Widely considered one of the most adept sorcerers on Runeterra, Ryze is an ancient, hard-bitten archmage with an impossibly heavy burden to bear. Armed with immense arcane power and a boundless constitution, he tirelessly hunts for World Runes—fragments of the raw magic that once shaped the world from nothingness. He must retrieve these artifacts before they fall into the wrong hands, for Ryze understands the horrors they could unleash on Runeterra.

Abilities

Passive

Arcane Mastery

Ryze's spells deal extra damage based on his Bonus Mana, and he gains a percentage increase to his maximum Mana based on his Ability Power.

Tips

Playing as Ryze

  1. Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.
  2. Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.
  3. Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.

Playing against Ryze

  1. Ryze is especially dangerous to opponents that are marked with Flux.
  2. Use Realm Warp's windup time to figure out how to deal with what may be coming out of the portal.
  3. Crowd controlling Ryze during Realm Warp's windup will cancel the portal.
