How to Trade

  • Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when Ryze goes for CS, then look for E-Q-auto combos when he's out of position.
  • Use your superior range to harass without taking return damage, and save E for when he tries to engage with his combo.

Wave Control

  • Maintain distance and use your range advantage to control the wave while poking Ryze down.
  • Look for roaming opportunities after shoving waves, as your mobility and pick potential far exceed his early game impact.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get caught in close-range fights where Ryze can land his full combo rotation, as his sustained damage in extended trades can be dangerous.
  • Avoid using E carelessly for poke, as it's your primary self-peel tool against his engage attempts.
