Tips for Playing as Xerath with Ryze

If you stun an enemy with Shocking Orb, follow up with a guaranteed center hit on Eye of Destruction.

It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.

Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.

Advice to Understand How Ryze Will Play

Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.

Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.

Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
