Who Wins
- You win most early trades with your range advantage and Q true damage return, especially levels 1-3.
- Post-6, you have kill pressure with R-E combo, but must respect Ryze's sustained damage if you miss your charm or he has passive up.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke and waveclear while staying at max range, then look for W-E-Q combos when he steps up for CS.
- Post-6, your kill combo is R forward, E, Q, W, with additional R charges to chase or escape depending on the trade outcome.
Wave Control
- Push and roam frequently, especially after level 6, as Ryze struggles to match your mobility and map presence.
- Keep waves pushed to deny him farm and force him to choose between following your roams or losing CS under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E on minions or use it predictably when Ryze has his passive up, as his movement speed makes it easy to dodge.
- Avoid extended trades when your abilities are on cooldown, as Ryze's low cooldowns and sustained damage will win longer fights.
