Ahri vs Ryze

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure to deny Ryze safe scaling farm by punishing his short-range approach.
Maintain lane priority to force Ryze into vulnerable trades and create roam opportunities after level 6.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W), then commit (E) only when Ryze commits forward or wastes his (W) root.
Punish Ryze stepping up to apply (E) for waveclear when (W) is down.
Avoid trading if Ryze has mana and (W) ready to root and follow up damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is down; missed (E) or extended trades can be punished.
Avoid engaging when (W) root is available and he has mana for multiple spell rotations.
Hard push and take plates to punish Ryze if he roams with (R).

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) for short trades and hold (E) to punish Ryze's forward movement or cooldown use.
Avoid extended trades before (R) to prevent Ryze from capitalizing on your cooldowns.
Keep the wave controlled near your side to threaten (E) angles and limit Ryze's safe farming windows.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full ability access to pressure Ryze before he scales.
At level 6, use (R) mobility to dodge (W) root and extend picks.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike by playing cautiously and avoiding forced trades.

Win conditions

Land (E) to pick off Ryze when he steps forward without (W) or after he uses his mobility.
Use early wave control to deny Ryze free farm and create roam pressure after level 6.
Exploit Ryze's low early agency by forcing short trades and punishing cooldowns before his item spikes.

Tip: For Ahri vs Ryze, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
