Ryze vs Aurelion Sol

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling battle mage who must manage mana carefully to apply E and Q without getting poked out by Aurelion Sol's long-range abilities.
Avoid giving Aurelion Sol a passive lane to farm safely; maintain medium lane pressure to contest waves and deny easy scaling.

Trading pattern

Trade with E and Q combos, holding W to root Aurelion Sol if he commits too close.
Avoid stepping forward when Aurelion Sol's Q and W are available to prevent long-range poke.
Extend trades only if mana is sufficient to chain spells and punish Aurelion Sol's cooldowns.

Danger windows

Ryze is vulnerable when low on mana or W is on cooldown, allowing Aurelion Sol freer poke and roam potential.
Be cautious of Aurelion Sol's roaming after pushing waves; hard push and take plates or ping danger to avoid losing map pressure.
Avoid extended trades when Aurelion Sol has his Q and W ready, as he can punish Ryze's short range.

Early game

Ryze has low early agency and should focus on safe farming while avoiding Aurelion Sol's poke from Aurelion Sol Q and E.
Use controlled E and Q trades only when mana allows and W is ready to punish Aurelion Sol's overextensions.
Track Aurelion Sol's cooldowns to avoid taking poke when his main damage tools are up.

Power spikes

Ryze's major spikes are his first mana/AP item and level 6 R for map plays.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late game power spike when his ultimate upgrades after 75+ stacks and he completes Rylai's.
Ryze's item and mana scaling are more impactful than level 6 damage for lane control.

Win conditions

Win by safely farming and using spell rotations to outscale Aurelion Sol's poke.
Use W to root Aurelion Sol when he tries to engage, then follow up with Q and E for sustained damage.
Convert wave control into map pressure with R to create numbers advantage and punish Aurelion Sol's weaker early game.
