| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | You win the level-1 push with Blooming Burst while Ryze's early Q poke is weak and drains his mana. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | W Shapesplitter speed lets you dodge his E-Q combo and shove him in under tower. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Tangle-Barbs out-ranges Rune Prison, so you root and Q him whenever he steps to CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Your waveclear matches his while your poke chunks him harder as his combo mana cost keeps him low. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Pop Blossom is a hard all-in the dash-less Ryze cannot escape, forcing Flash or death. |
| First item | Neeko | Your item burst spike bursts him before his stacking combo scales, and he can't survive your R engage. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | Ryze needs teamfight setup you deny with clone and disguise picks plus AoE stun. |
You dominate levels 1-2: Blooming Burst out-pushes Ryze's weak, mana-hungry early Q poke, and W Shapesplitter speed lets you sidestep his E-Q combo and shove him in under tower.
