Playing as Ryze
Tips to maximize your impact
- Flux, then Overload
Cast Spell Flux (E) on your target or a nearby minion, then Overload (Q): the Flux spreads to nearby enemies, and the bolt bounces from one to the next.
- Root a target with Flux
Cast Rune Prison (W) on a target marked by Spell Flux (E): they're rooted instead of slowed.
- Alternate your spells
Alternate your spells in teamfights: Rune Prison (W) and Spell Flux (E) reset the cooldown of Overload (Q).
- Open a portal for your team
Cast Realm Warp (R) to rotate to an objective or a flank: after a few seconds, all allies near you are teleported.
Playing against Fiora
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Vital she hits with Duelist's Dance (passive) heals her and speeds her up.
- Wait for her Riposte before your CC
If you have CC, wait until Riposte (W) is used: if it parries an immobilizing effect, her stab stuns you instead of slowing you.
- Trade after her Lunge
Take a trade when Lunge (Q) has just whiffed: without an enemy hit, its cooldown isn't reduced, and it's her only dash.
- Send two to answer her split
Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: in a duel, Grand Challenge (R) reveals four Vitals and speeds her up near her target.
