Lucian vs Ryze

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 power spike to force short trades and deny Ryze easy CS.
Punish Ryze's low range by dashing in quickly after support setup and bursting with passive shots.
Avoid extended fights where Ryze's sustained spell rotations outscale your burst damage.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively after Ryze uses (W) root or (E) spread cooldowns to avoid his follow-up.
Use (Q) through minions to punish Ryze standing behind low-health CS.
Avoid using (E) forward without support or cooldown advantage to prevent being punished.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root combined with (E) spread for follow-up damage; avoid stepping into range without (E).
After you use (E) aggressively, you become vulnerable to Ryze's counter trades; reposition carefully.
Track (R) cooldown for potential roams or map plays that can leave you isolated.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support help to leverage your early dash and passive burst.
Thin the wave before trading to minimize minion damage when dashing in.
Reset or back off if Ryze holds wave and mana, as he scales better with controlled farm.

Power spikes

Level 2 grants strong dash and burst trades; contest this to snowball lane control.
First completed marksman item amplifies burst damage; force recalls or objective plays.
Level 6 (R) enables finishing off targets pushed out of position; coordinate with support for all-ins.

Win conditions

Convert early lane pressure into dragon control or mid priority with your support.
Use short burst trades to force Ryze off CS and deny his scaling.
Punish Ryze's roams post-(R) by crashing waves and resetting to maintain lane dominance.

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