Base Stats
Build Guide
Ryze Build Guide (Mid)
Ryze turns mana into muscle: every item that fills his mana bar raises every spell's damage, and by three items his machine-gun rotation of Overload, Rune Prison and Spell Flux out-damages burst mages while he builds like a tank.

Max Overload - it is the spammable core of the rotation. Rune Prison second for the lock; Spell Flux last.
Item Build
Early goals
Tear plus catalyst: both halves of the Ryze scaling story at once.
Core build
Rod of Ages, Frozen Heart and Archangel's - tank stats that are also full damage items on him alone.
Boots
Sorcerer's Shoes for kill pressure; Mercury's Treads into heavy crowd control.
Situational
Banshee's is a mana item with a spell shield, Void Staff against stacked resist, Abyssal for his fighting range, Rylai's for stickiness.
Example final build
A mana-battery battlemage build.

Ryze Build Guide (Top)
Top Ryze plays the same mana engine into bruisers who cannot punish it: Rune Prison stops their engage cold, and his tank-stat damage items mean their split pusher meets an unkillable mage by twenty minutes.

The same short-range mage page - flat resistances matter even more against bruisers.
