Tips & Tricks
  • Ryze has MANY final board states. You can view some of them using the dropdown menu above the board. The dropdown also scrolls; don’t miss out on the variations that you need to scroll to see!
  • The opener provided shows the core units that are typically used to unlock Ryze. For your actual opener, any strong AP opener will work so play what you hit
  • You can easily field a Targon unit for Ryze on most of these boards on level 10 if there isn’t a Targon unit on level 9.
  • The most common way to unlock Ryze is using the Xin Zhao + Kennen + Poppy + Any Demacia Unit + Any Ionia Unit + Any Targon unit package. Most boards will involve these 4 units + Azir + Shurima unit
  • The Sylas Galio version requires you to first angle toward 7 Demacia, unlocking Galio, and then selling Lux + Garen + Jarvan and transitioning into the Ryze board. It requires a lot of gold, but should cap very high.

Economy Strategy
  1. Without econ augment, fast 9 is almost impossible without win-streak.
  2. Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
  3. Level to 5, unless on 3-loss streak.
  4. Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
  5. Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
  6. Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
  7. Level to 7, or 8 if you can stay above 30g.
  8. Level to 8. Main difference from Fast 8 is how much you roll on 8. Ideally you are high HP and don’t need to roll at all. Otherwise, roll for acceptable board and accumulate gold afterward.
  9. Level to 9 if you are rich enough to roll 20g+. Generally only possible with economy augment or encounter.
  10. Level to 9 if you can roll 20g+ or if low HP.
  11. Level to 9 and roll for important 5-costs. For the remainder of game, roll until you hit your 2 star itemized units. Can consider level 10 after hitting.
