Hey, I have over 2,000 games on Ryze and climbed from Iron 3 to Master 250 LP with a 65% win rate in just one month, playing only Ryze in solo queue. This made me the rank 1 Ryze player in Season 26. My knowledge of the champion runs deep, supported by hundreds of hours of calculations and replay analysis. I just made a small Discord server for Ryze discussion, coaching, and just hanging out. I've already posted 40+ in-depth Ryze coaching clips, and new content is coming almost every day. Feel free to join if you want to learn Ryze – everything is completely free, as I think everyone deserves access to it.

With only sera and fimbul, you have 3k flat hp with sera shield (+500) at 18min. The more hp, shields and ability haste you have on Ryze, the longer you can fight and that way having more dmg because your cooldowns are really low. Roa is not bad to rush first but i think its the main reason ryze has low winrate.

EARLY GAME WITH RYZE

You start every game with tear to get it fully stacked by 12–13 minutes, ideally. Then you rush Seraph’s Embrace as your first item to deal significantly more damage early game and have more ability haste than with Rod of Ages. Your temporary HP from Seraph’s shield is also comparable to Rod of Ages, which is another reason to stack your first tear quickly. You start every game by using E to stack your first Tear and Manaflow Band as soon as possible. Ryze is a weak champion with many difficult matchups in mid lane until you get Seraph’s. To play the early laning phase correctly, try to stack your first Tear in lane with E at all times and aim for the 12-minute mark. In most games, the most effective strategy is to push waves if your opponent allows it and perma-roam. Play with your jungler and help him with objectives. Pre-6 roams to bot lane after clearing the wave also work in almost every game when you path from behind the Dragon pit. Never forget to perma vision enemy jg when youre roaming because that helps everyone!

MID GAME WITH RYZE

In the mid game, you can play with your jungler and look for picks, or split push a side lane. After recalling, try to look for an ult to mid or top, because enemies never expect how fast you can get there after they saw you sidelaning 15 seconds ago. Now you have atleast Sera and Fimbulwinter so you can take 1v2 fights most of the times if theyre not fed because youre really tanky with low cooldowns and great dmg from Sera.

LATE GAME WITH RYZE

In the late game, you can take 1v2 fights easily with Actualizer, so you have three options: play side lane and force the enemy into a 3v4 (if your team isn’t too far behind), group with your team mid and look for picks before major objectives, or play like an assassin by targeting adcs and other squishy champions from the jungle or by ulting into lanes. Most of the time, you should play with your team and look for valuable picks, because you’re the mvp in the late game and need to stay alive.

Ryze has many great playstyles and builds and ill be updating this guide when i have more time.
