Vex vs Ryze

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a high early agency burst mage who must use her passive fear to pressure Ryze and deny his safe scaling farm.
Apply constant lane pressure to prevent Ryze from comfortably using Ryze E and Ryze Q rotations for poke and waveclear.

Trading pattern

Use passive fear to start trades and proc Electrocute quickly before Ryze can respond.
Respect Ryze W root and avoid committing when it is available to prevent getting locked down.
Punish Ryze's low mana or cooldown windows by stepping up to burst before he can chain spells.

Danger windows

You are vulnerable when your R is down as you lose reset and mobility options.
If you fail to land your passive fear, Ryze can all-in with Ryze W root and spell rotations.
Be cautious when Ryze has mana to cycle Ryze E and Ryze Q repeatedly with Ryze W ready.

Early game

Use your passive fear to interrupt Ryze's attempts to step forward and cast Ryze E and Ryze Q.
Punish Ryze when he steps up without Ryze W available to root you.
Avoid extended trades if your fear is baited or forced out early, as Ryze can all-in when your R is down.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is your major spike for engage and resets on Ryze.
Your first completed AP burst item enhances your kill pressure significantly.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike and level 6 Ryze R for map plays and increased threat.

Win conditions

Use your passive fear consistently to win trades and deny Ryze's scaling farm.
All-in Ryze aggressively when your R is available to reset and burst him before he can respond.
Control lane pressure to prevent Ryze from safely using Ryze E and Ryze Q poke and force him into defensive play.

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