How to win lane as Twisted Fate against Ryze · 53.94% win rate over 2,586 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Twisted Fate | Twisted Fate - Ryze is helplessly weak level 1 with no mobility and a near-useless solo Q, so your Wild Cards and autos win the opening. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill - his level-2 Rune Prison root plus Q can punish a bad step, pulling the trade back to even. |
| Level 3 | Twisted Fate | Twisted Fate - your Wild Card poke out-ranges his pre-combo damage while he's still item-starved. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twisted Fate | Twisted Fate - you shove and out-poke a Ryze who can't fight back or leave lane at levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Twisted Fate | Twisted Fate - Destiny and Gate give you a roam and gank threat the immobile Ryze simply can't match. |
| First item | Ryze | Ryze - his first item and Tear stacks switch on the combo damage and mana that flip the lane in his favor. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | Ryze - a fully stacked Ryze out-DPSs, out-ranges, and out-scales you with Realm Warp teamfighting. |
L1-2 Ryze is one of the weakest early champs in the game; his Q Overload does little without the E-Flux combo and he has no mobility, so shove with Wild Cards and auto-harass him off the wave. Level 2 tightens because his W Rune Prison root plus Q can punish a greedy step, so poke only on your terms.
