How to win lane as Yasuo against Ryze · 54.55% win rate over 1,067 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Wind Wall blocks Ryze's Q and W, denying his level-1 combo. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Your wall and step-up pressure keep you ahead at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | At 3 you dodge his root with E and out-trade his poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Wind Wall shuts his root-burst pattern through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Your knockup and Last Breath out-duel his utility ult at 6. |
| First item | Yasuo | A crit item lets your autos out-DPS his mana-gated combo. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | With items you dive and delete a defenseless Ryze every fight. |
You own levels 1-3: Ryze relies on Overload (Q) and the Rune Prison (W) root to trade, and Wind Wall (W) blocks both, so once you have your wall he has no safe damage and you press him off the wave.
