How to win lane as Ahri against Ryze · 56.63% win rate over 2,859 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ahri | Ryze has no burst this early and is stuck auto-attacking for chip damage while your Orb of Deception poke already out-trades him. |
| Level 2 | Ahri | His combo needs landed Q into E-root, which your dash mobility easily slips, letting you punish the recovery every time. |
| Level 3 | Ahri | You can all-in confidently since his root-into-burst still isn't strong enough to threaten a kill, and your Charm resets any trade in your favor. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ahri | Your dash-heavy kit continues to dodge his roots and snowball skirmishes before his mana pool has scaled into real damage. |
| Level 6 | Ahri | Spirit Rush lets you dodge his root-Q-flash-ult combo attempts and burst him down before his own all-in fully connects. |
| First item | Ahri | Ryze needs a couple of completed items before his combo threatens serious damage, and your Charm still wins any close fight even against that first spike. |
| Two+ items | Ahri | Your mobility keeps dodging his root setup and your burst combo remains ahead of his scaling mana pool, so you continue winning the 1v1 even once he unlocks Realm Warp. |
Levels 1-2 are close to even since neither champion has a real burst window yet, but you already out-trade with Orb of Deception poke while Ryze is stuck auto-attacking for chip damage.
