Annie vs Ryze

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (R) to find picks and burst Ryze before he can respond with his rotations.
Deny Ryze safe scaling by punishing his mana windows and forcing defensive play.
Manage wave to avoid pushing too hard and exposing yourself to Ryze's short-range trades.

Trading pattern

Engage trades when your passive stun is ready using (Q)+(W)+auto for quick burst.
Punish Ryze when his (W) root is down or when he steps forward to cast (E).
Avoid extended trades if Ryze has enough mana to cycle spells repeatedly.

Danger windows

Respect Ryze's full mana and cooldowns enabling repeated (E)+(Q) rotations.
Avoid overextending when (W) root is available and your stun passive is down.
Be cautious if Ryze uses (R) to create map pressure, limiting your roaming options.

Early game

Pressure Ryze early with (Q)+(W) combos when his mana is low to deny CS.
Avoid pushing with (W) to conserve mana and maintain pick potential.
Hold wave near your side to limit Ryze's ability to safely use (E) and (W).

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for strong all-ins and pick opportunities; use it decisively.
First completed AP item boosts burst and wave pressure; trade more confidently afterward.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike and level 6 for his increased map pressure.

Win conditions

Use (R) to initiate picks and burst Ryze before he can retaliate.
Punish Ryze's mana cooldowns to deny farm and scaling.
Roam with (R) after pushing wave to snowball leads and create map pressure.

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