Diana vs Ryze

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium early agency AP diver who wants to pressure Ryze and deny his safe scaling farm.
Use your Q + E + W burst combo to punish Ryze's short-range and mana reliance before he scales.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing Q then immediately using E to reset and follow up with W for burst damage.
Respect Ryze W root; avoid trading when it's available or when Ryze has mana for multiple spell rotations.
Punish Ryze when his W is down or he is low on mana, as his threat and follow-up damage drop sharply.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ryze has mana and cooldowns to cycle E and Q repeatedly, increasing his sustained damage.
Avoid trading when Ryze W is up, as the root can lock you down for Ryze Q follow-up.
Your danger rises if you miss Q or use E without resetting it on a Moonlight-marked target.

Early game

Look to hit level 3 quickly to unlock your full burst combo with Q, W, and E for strong short trades.
Avoid committing if you miss Q, as Ryze can punish you hard before you engage.
Use your shield W to mitigate Ryze's poke and trade safely when he steps forward to cast Ryze E or Ryze Q.

Power spikes

Level 3 is a major spike unlocking your full Q + E + W burst combo.
Level 6 R enables strong all-ins and teamfight threat.
Respect Ryze's first completed mana/AP item spike and level 6 Ryze R for map plays.

Win conditions

Use your Q + E + W combo to burst Ryze before he can safely trade or scale.
Deny Ryze safe farming by punishing his short range and mana reliance with aggressive short trades.
Reach level 6 and use R to force all-ins and snowball lane control.

Tip: For Diana vs Ryze, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
