How to win lane as Syndra against Ryze · 57.71% win rate over 3,405 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 is yours because Ryze has one of the weakest early games and your Q out-trades his slow skillshot. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 stays Syndra's as your two-spell poke chunks him before he has any burst. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 is yours since holding E for his Q-E root denies his entire flux combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 remain yours because his damage is still item-gated while your poke is already online. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Level 6 favours you as your ult is a kill threat and his is merely a teleport. |
| First item | Syndra | First item is your peak — Ludens one-shots him before his mana-stacking scaling arrives. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | 2+ items stays yours because you burst and pick him before his late DPS ramp, keeping fights short. |
Levels 1-2 are dominantly yours: Ryze's early is one of the weakest in the game — his Q is a slow-moving skillshot and he has no burst until items. Open with Q on the wave to zone and punish, and simply sidestep his Q so his E-flux passive can never trigger the chain damage.
