Ryoma Item Builds

The following passage discusses the essential items for playing Ryoma optimally, as well as some suggested item builds. It emphasizes the importance of sticking to the core items unless you have a good reason not to.

The first core item for Ryoma is Rankbreaker, which grants him significant attack damage and the ability to shred his opponents’ armor. It also provides a movement speed boost that allows him to move quickly between lanes and gank opponents.

The second core item is Frost Cape, which offers some utility and defense. Its slow effect enhances Ryoma’s attacks and can stack with Naginatajutsu to slow enemies at a range. Since Ryoma often follows up Wailing Blade with a normal attack, he benefits from Frost Cape’s slow effect regularly.

The suggested item build for Ryoma focuses on enhancing his damage potential with Rankbreaker and Muramasa. Frost Cape is chosen over the more damaging Omni Arms due to its slow effect and survivability benefits. Medallion of Troy is the only defensive item recommended, as it offers protection against magical damage.

For jungle play, Soulreaver is the recommended jungling item, and Ryoma can capitalize on his high attack damage with armor pierce through Rankbreaker and Muramasa. Mail of Pain provides defense against marksmen and warriors who try to engage on him.

For a more defensive approach, Ryoma can use Frost Cape, Hyoga’s Edge, and Wailing Blade to control enemies and deal damage. Spear of Longinus offers cooldown reduction, armor, and attack, and synergizes well with Spectral Ire. With Hercules’ Madness, Hyoga’s Edge, Frost Cape, and Spear of Longinus, Ryoma can become tankier than expected and turn ganks in his favor.

Overall, sticking to the core items is recommended unless you have a good reason to diverge, and there are various item builds that can suit Ryoma’s playstyle and role.
