Conditions:
- Ability to Fast 9
- Many Variants depending on your spot
- Galio Unlock is preferred
How to Play:
- Unlockables: Ryze, Galio, Kobuko, Kennen, Sett, Volibear, Ziggs, Shurimans
- Ryze: Play 3 region traits at level 9.
- Galio: Field 8 star levels of Demacia at level 8.
- Kobuko: Field 6 Star levels in Bruisers, Yordles or Invokers at level 6.
- Kennen: Field 5 Star levels in Ionians, Yordles or Defenders at level 5.
- Sett: Field only 1 unit in the front 2 rows of your board for a turn at level 8.
- Volibear: Field a unit with 3400 or more HP at level 8. A turn with 4 bruisers in is a great way to complete this.
- Ziggs: Field a Zaunite or Yordle with 2 items at level 9. If you can complete this on 4-7 as to not lose a life itemizing a Yordle or Zaunite on 5-1, do so.
- Shurimans: Renekton is a great duo carry, Nasus is a great tank, and Xerath is the highest possible cap.
- Gameplan: Play your strongest Demacia or AP opener and set up for a fast 9. Play your strongest board while adding unlockable units to maintain tempo. Ryze is very accessible if you are able to get to level 9 so this can be played from many angles. Almost every good Ryze board will play around the convenient combination of Kobuko and Kennen. One or the other will be required for most boards.
- Stage 1-2: Look to be strong around your best AP opener. Play econ generating Ionia paths if possible.
- Stage 3: Keep tempo by unlocking Kennen and Kobuko when possible and aggressively holding Demacian star levels for Galio’s unlock.
- Stage 4: Be strong by unlocking Volibear, Sett and Galio. Slight roll if needed to complete these, otherwise econ up to get to level 9.
- Stage 5+: Go 9 as soon as possible for your first copy of Ryze. If you are able to complete all of the unlocks the board should come together easily. If you struggled to complete the Demacia and Ionia unit unlocks consider playing Shurimans. Taric or Skarner in their place.
- Tips:
- Demacia opener is the most convenient opener for this comp due to Galio acting as a +1 opening up our traits.
- Econ Ionia Paths accelerate your ability to go 9 so consider this line if you drop an Ahri early on.
- There are multiple ways to cap around Ryze, the Demacia Ionia route is convenient due to unlocks guaranteeing most of the board.
- Shurima Ryze is the best Ryze buff as it CCs and potentially drops loot.
- If you have Lifting Competition the Bruiser variant is a great line to play.
