Ryze vs Vex

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage who needs to manage mana carefully and avoid Vex's early aggression.
Focus on stable farming and controlled waveclear to limit Vex's high lane pressure and passive fear impact.

Trading pattern

Trade primarily with E and Q combos, saving W to root Vex if she tries to all-in.
Avoid stepping into Vex's range when her passive fear is up to prevent losing trades.
Punish Vex's inability to reset her R by forcing short trades when it's on cooldown.

Danger windows

Vex is most threatening when her passive fear is active and her R is available for resets.
Avoid long trades when low on mana as Ryze's threat drops sharply.
Be cautious after using W root as it leaves Ryze vulnerable if missed.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and avoid extended trades before level 6 when Vex's passive fear and burst are strongest.
Use E and Q to poke briefly when Vex's passive is down or after she wastes Vex R.
Hold W to punish Vex if she commits without her fear available.

Power spikes

Respect Vex's level 6 R for engage and reset potential.
Ryze's first mana/AP item significantly increases sustained damage and trading power.
Ryze's level 6 R is a map tool, not a direct lane power spike.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming under controlled wave states and using E and Q for poke.
Use W to root Vex when she overcommits to punish her immobility.
Leverage waveclear and R to create map pressure and avoid Vex's burst windows.

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