Notes on Ryoma's Item Build

Your mechanical skill is clearly better than your opponent’s
If your mechanical skill is clearly better than your opponent’s, you can go full damage; if you want to play like the pros, hybrid is more suitable.

How to Play Ryoma in the Early Game

In the early game, if you’re playing top lane, use your skills to clear minions fast while poking in short bursts.

Don’t trade blood in an all-in duel with the enemy hero — wait for the passive Naginatajutsu Naginatajutsu bar to fill, then dive in to unload damage and pull back; just a few rounds of this and you’ll completely dominate your opponent.

If you’re jungle, you can start with the red buff first, since Ryoma Ryoma costs no energy to use skills.

Use Skill 1 Pinwheel Pinwheel to dash through jungle camps to quickly finish your route.

How to Play Ryoma in the Mid Game

By the mid game, Ryoma Ryoma has big damage and high mobility, so clear minions and monsters fast then rotate to gank, push turrets, and secure objectives with your allies, or you can invade the enemy jungle.

Move into blind spots or bushes, then suddenly dash with Skill 1 Pinwheel Pinwheel to close in on your opponent and combo, catching them off guard and increasing your chance to secure the kill.

How to Play Ryoma in the Late Game

By the late game, take advantage of your mobility to split push, but always watch for a fight breaking out and return right away to join your allies.

In a fight, poke and wait for the right moment to dive in and use Skill 2 Wailing Blade Wailing Blade to stun the enemy’s core damage dealer, then take them down together with your allies to secure the overall win for you and your team.

Also don’t forget to attack Tier-3 Dragon and Caesar for important buffs, greatly increasing your win rate.
