When is the release date of Ryze in Wild Rift?
Wild Rift currently has 121 champions out of the 169 released in League of Legends.
If there is one Champion who shows the early days of League of Legends, it would be Ryze. Ryze was one of the older champions released into League of Legends. Within Wild Rift, Ryze is slated to launch during Patch 6.1.
Therefore, the release date for Ryze in Wild Rift is April 17 (GMT) as a part of the Patch 6.1.
For many, Ryze is synonymous with the demon king himself, T1 Faker. In his early days as a professional player, Faker used to play Ryze on the midlane. This could be seen with the Champion, who has an exclusive SKT T1 skin as well.

Within League of Legends, Ryze is a part of the Mage role, primarily played in the mid-lane. He’s a Champion who prefers to take ranged duels and uses Mana as his resource. Below is a list of his abilities:
- Passive: Arcane Mastery – Ryze’s spells deal extra damage based on his Bonus Mana, and he gains a percentage increase to his maximum Mana based on his Ability Power.
- Ability 1: Overload – When Ryze casts Overload with two runes charged, he gains a brief burst of Move Speed. On cast, Ryze throws a charge of pure energy in a line, dealing damage to the first enemy struck. If the target has Flux on it, Overload deals extra damage and bounces to nearby enemies with Flux.
- Ability 2: Rune Prison – Ryze traps a target in a cage of runes, damaging and slowing their movement. If the target has Flux on it, they are instead rooted.
- Ability 3: Spell Flux – Ryze releases an orb of pure magical power that damages an enemy and debuffs all nearby enemies. Ryze’s spells have additional effects against the debuffed enemy.
- Ult: Realm Wrap – On cast, Ryze creates a portal to a nearby location. After a few seconds, allies near the portal are teleported to the target location.
Alongside Raze in Patch 6.1, Champions like Zilean and Nocturne will also be available. Check out our article for the Wild Rift Patch 6.1 Update Roadmap to know more about what’s coming in this update.
