How to Play
- Manage your mana as an offensive resource: each back accelerates your DPS via the Tear → Seraph curve.
- Don't throw W to poke; keep it to set a key target or defend yourself.
- Don't prolong trades against true-damage bruisers; play push/TP and rotations.
- Controlled push then roam on timers 5/9: your R converts the priority into targets.
- Against assassins, the rule is simple: short wave, early Stasis Enchant, defensive W.
Playing Against
- Against Wind Wall/blocks, play the side angles to avoid losing your Qs.
- If the enemy stacks MR, don't delay: Ryze needs mana efficiency → damage.
- Against all-ins (Camille/Renekton), keep W to break the entry and step back under wave.
- Teleport Enchant connects your item spikes to neutral fights.
- set deep vision before using R; don't teleport blindly.
- Prick the cannon sbires with E→Q to maintain pressure without risk.
