This is Ryze's own plan; across 1,150 pooled games the lane is leaning Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ryze | Level 1 your Q poke and range beat his weak short-range Breath of Light. |
| Level 2 | Ryze | Level 2 you continue punishing his farm and deny his stack economy. |
| Level 3 | Ryze | Level 3 W Rune Prison into Q lets you win every trade against his low early damage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 your sustained poke keeps him under tower and off his stacks. |
| Level 6 | Ryze | Level 6 you W-root and burst him before his stun and ramp-up matter. |
| First item | Aurelion Sol | First item his banked Stardust and Falling Star start out-pacing you. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Two-plus items his stacked breath and Skies Descend out-range your combo. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Aurelion Sol's early Breath of Light is low-damage and short-ranged with no waveclear, so out-poke him with Q Overload, contest his stacking, and set up a punishing freeze or shove. Track Astral Flight: 22s rank 1 — his reposition and escape; a stationary battery while it is down, and your W cancels the flight mid-channel. E unlocks the real combo: E-Q flux chunks and the wave-bounce clears. The lane is yours — deny his every stack.
