DragonSword: Awakening Ryza — Upcoming Hero Preview

Ryza Overview

One of the Six Heroes of Orbis who throws her spear then teleports to its location for fast shock-damage assaults.

Hound13 confirmed Ryza as part of the four free heroes arriving in the second half of 2026. Each takes roughly six months to develop — advance production enables sequential releases without gacha or expansion paywalls. Read the full Post-Launch Heroes roadmap for release order and combat specialties.

Expected Combat Role

As Shock Spear Assassin, Ryza will contribute Shock and Stun to team compositions. Plan future teams with our Team Builder once retail ailment data confirms exact Signal interactions. Shock damage may synergize with existing Stun chains — compare against Theresia and Kalien. See Stun team builds for current meta frameworks.
