hey guys, its ininjastarbabies here again with another build. i have been playing ryze a lot lately and wanted to share some items that ive noticed work well on him. try some of them out and see what you think XD

alright, so just like any mage, you need magic pen. what is different is the extra mana from the blue glyphs. i usually put magic resist glyphs because you are mid against other mage champs but ryze needs mana early game. another thing is the armor from the yellows. ryze is supposed to be a bit more tanky since he gets his damage from mana. this allows him to build more tanky items.

on the masteries, you want that flash cooldown on him, the damage from the ap side of the attack section. you want the mana and mana regen from utility along with the flash cooldowns.

once you get the tear of the goddess stacked a bit, and to help keep stacking, use your q to farm along with your e that bounces around. this works well because you want to max that tear of the goddess fast.

your e lowers magic resist, so use that to engage and your teamates will deal a little more damage too. once you lowered it, spam your q as many times as you can XD use your cage to catch running targets in combination with your ult. that will deal aoe damage and help your team pick up some easy kills.

max your Q first but at the same time max your cage also

biggest section for last!!! what you want to do is get the tear of goddess early followed by the rod of ages early. this will allow you to do loads of damage mid game, that is where you shine. later game you will want to be tanky and have those items that give you armor or magic resist along with the mana ryze needs to deal damage. when you are against physical damage heavy enemies get: frozen heart, ohmwrecker, and iceborn gauntlet. when you are against magic damage heavy enemies get: banshees, athenes unholy grail, and abyssal scepter
