Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ryze.
This is Kled's own plan; across 266 pooled games the lane is leaning Ryze.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ryze | Ryze's ranged Q chips your mount health at Level 1 and you have no spammable poke to answer — preserve Skaarl and wait. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Violent Tendencies arms four fast attacks and Bear Trap yanks him in — take the all-in at 2 while Rune Prison is still only a slow. |
| Level 3 | Kled | The full E-W-E re-E combo plus remount sustain out-bursts a Ryze who hasn't stacked Tear yet — this is your cleanest kill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even window — your short-trade dominance beats him, but a landed Q/E root combo flips it and lets him kite Skaarl down. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Chaaaaaaaaarge!!! knocks him out of his root chain into your tower and extends roams faster than his slow waveclear can punish. |
| First item | Even / skill | Even — your Eclipse/Trinity sheen and trap shred peak here, but his Tear/Archangel's already funds the root-chain that answers you. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | Full-build Ryze roots you on Q/E cooldown and pokes Skaarl from range while his realm warp outscales your splitpush — play safe and let your team handle him. |
Ryze owns Level 1 — Overload chips Skaarl from 1000 range while you have no answer, so don't trade into it, just protect mount health. Your window is Levels 2-3: once Violent Tendencies and the Jousting re-cast are up, dash in, Bear Trap, and burn him before Tear stacking comes online. What locks you down is Spell Flux first — Rune Prison only slows a clean target, so step out of the orb's splash and his 11s cage costs him the wave for nothing.
