Ryze vs Vladimir

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze must manage wave control and mana to safely farm and scale against Vladimir's sustain and poke.
Avoid giving Vladimir a passive lane by using controlled poke and punishing his W cooldown windows.

Trading pattern

Trade by applying E then follow up with Q, saving W to root Vladimir if he commits or uses W.
Punish Vladimir's W cooldown by stepping up for short trades and forcing him to miss sustain.
Avoid trading when low on mana or when Vladimir's empowered Q is ready to punish your approach.

Danger windows

Respect Vladimir's empowered Q and R windows as high threat moments for burst trades.
Vladimir's W grants untargetability; avoid committing when it's available to prevent wasted damage.
Be cautious when low on mana or W is down, as Vladimir can exploit these to all-in or trade aggressively.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using E and Q poke when Vladimir's empowered Q is down.
Avoid extended trades when Vladimir's W is available to prevent his untargetability and healing.
Use waveclear to maintain lane control and deny Vladimir easy short trades.

Power spikes

Ryze's major spikes are first mana/AP item and level 6 R for map plays.
Vladimir's major spikes are level 6 Vladimir R and first completed AP item, which Ryze must respect.
Ryze's scaling and mana sustain are key to outlasting Vladimir's burst and sustain windows.

Win conditions

Win by controlling wave and mana to safely farm and outscale Vladimir's sustain.
Use W root to punish Vladimir's forced W cooldowns and extend trades.
Leverage R to create map pressure and assist side lanes once lane control is secured.

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