Realm Warp
RRealm Warp

Passively, Overload deals even more damage against targets with Flux. On cast, Ryze creates a portal to a nearby location. After a few seconds, allies standing near the portal are teleported to the target location.

PLAYING ASRyze
  • Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.
  • Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.
  • Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
PLAYING AGAINSTRyze
  • Ryze is especially dangerous to opponents that are marked with Flux.
  • Use Realm Warp's windup time to figure out how to deal with what may be coming out of the portal.
  • Crowd controlling Ryze during Realm Warp's windup will cancel the portal.
