Ryze vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze must focus on safe scaling and controlled wave management to avoid Aurelion Sol's poke and roaming pressure.
Prioritize stable farm and use waveclear to create opportunities for map plays with (R).

Trading pattern

Trade primarily through (E) and (Q) combos, using (W) to root and punish Aurelion Sol's overextensions.
Avoid trading without enough mana to follow up, as Aurelion Sol can punish Ryze's short range and cooldowns.
Exploit windows when Aurelion Sol misses (Q) or (W) to step forward and apply pressure.

Danger windows

Be cautious when low on mana, as Ryze loses threat and becomes vulnerable to poke and all-ins.
Respect Aurelion Sol's upgraded ultimate and item spikes that increase his chase and teamfight pressure.
Avoid extended trades when (W) root is down, as Ryze cannot lock down Aurelion Sol for follow-up damage.

Early game

Play cautiously early as Ryze has low agency before first item and must avoid extended trades.
Use (E) and (Q) for short, controlled poke when mana allows, avoiding long-range poke from Aurelion Sol.
Hold (W) to punish Aurelion Sol if he steps too close or commits to a trade.

Power spikes

After first mana/AP item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Aurelion Sol's responses.
At level 6, use (R) for map plays or defensive resets rather than forcing blind all-ins.
Respect Aurelion Sol's major spike at 75+ Stardust stacks and after he completes Rylai's, adjusting aggression accordingly.

Win conditions

Scale safely through early farming and use controlled spell rotations to maintain lane presence.
Use waveclear to prevent Aurelion Sol from roaming freely and create opportunities for side pressure or teamplay with (R).
Punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game by forcing short trades and denying him easy scaling opportunities.
