Build Comparison
ArmorSpeedHealthManaAP
This Ryze burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. Its 62.5% win rate comes from only 32 games, so treat it as an observation rather than a proven edge. The build's key strengths include devastating ability power scaling with 445 total AP. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Ryze with this build can punish teams that stack armor. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Ryze's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Ryze vulnerable to burst damage and no built-in sustain for extended fights. With a total gold cost of 16,200, this Ryze build scales into the late game. Focus on farming efficiently and reaching your Rod of Ages, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Seraph's Embrace power spike before taking major fights. For optimal results with this Ryze build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
Strengths
- Devastating ability power scaling with 445 total AP
Weaknesses
- Lacks defensive stats making Ryze vulnerable to burst damage
- No built-in sustain for extended fights
- Limited ability haste may result in longer cooldowns
