Ryze vs Ahri

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage with medium lane pressure who must manage mana and wave control to avoid Ahri's early poke and Ahri E threat.
Focus on safe farming and controlling the wave to limit Ahri's roam and Ahri E windows without giving her free all-in opportunities.

Trading pattern

Trade by applying E and Q in short bursts, only committing W root when Ahri oversteps or uses mobility.
Respect Ahri E cooldown; step forward to trade only when it is down or she has used Ahri R.
Avoid trading when low on mana or when Ahri can safely poke from range with Ahri Q and W.

Danger windows

Ahri is most dangerous when Ahri E is up and Ahri R is available to extend or escape trades.
Avoid stepping forward to cast E or W when Ahri E is off cooldown and she has Ahri R ready.
Punish Ahri if she misses Ahri E or uses Ahri R defensively by stepping up with E and W for root and follow-up damage.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 when Ahri E and Ahri R give her high kill pressure.
Use E and Q carefully to poke while holding W to punish Ahri if she commits forward.
Maintain mana to ensure multiple spell rotations and prevent being bullied out by Ahri's early aggression.

Power spikes

Ryze's major spikes are his first mana/AP item and level 6 R for map plays.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R and her first completed mage item which enhance her kill and roam threat.

Win conditions

Win by safely farming and scaling into sustained spell rotations with E and Q.
Use W root to punish Ahri's forward movement and prevent her from landing Ahri E.
Leverage R after pushing waves to create map pressure and assist side lanes, denying Ahri's roam impact.

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