Hwei vs Ryze

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range artillery mage who must use poke and E spellbook CC to control Ryze's short-range engage attempts.
Pressure Ryze early to prevent his safe scaling and force him to play reactively without comfortable waveclear windows.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with Q and using E CC to disrupt Ryze before he can root with W.
Punish Ryze when his mana is low or after he uses Ryze W, as his follow-up rotations are limited.
Avoid extended trades if you choose the wrong E spell, as Ryze can punish fast all-ins.

Danger windows

Ryze is dangerous when he has mana and cooldowns to cycle E and Q repeatedly with W root ready.
Avoid committing when Ryze's W is up and ready to root, especially if you lack the correct E spell for defense.
Punish Ryze's low mana or W cooldown windows by stepping forward with poke and CC.

Early game

Use Q and E CC early to poke Ryze and deny him easy access to E and W range.
Avoid standing in range for Ryze W root; hold defensive E spell choice to interrupt his engage.
Prioritize level 3 for full spellbook options to maximize poke and control.

Power spikes

Hwei's major spikes: level 3 for full spellbook utility, level 6 for R all-in power, and first completed mage item.
Respect Ryze's power spike from his first mana/AP item and level 6 Ryze R for map plays.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E CC to deny Ryze safe farming and force him out of his comfort zone.
Set up level 6 all-in with R to burst Ryze before he can respond with rotations.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Ryze from scaling and using Ryze R effectively for map plays.

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