How to win lane as Alistar against Soraka · 47.65% win rate over 1,765 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Alistar | You win level 1 because Soraka is a pure healer with no CC to contest your presence. |
| Level 2 | Alistar | Level 2 is a clean kill window: W-Q catches the squishiest, escape-less support in lane. |
| Level 3 | Alistar | At 3 you still hold engage since her only defense is a single point-blank Infuse silence. |
| Levels 4-5 | Alistar | Through 4-5 constant WQ threats force her to self-damage healing and cede lane tempo. |
| Level 6 | Alistar | At 6 your R lets you dive through her heals while she has no CC to punish you. |
| First item | Alistar | With a tank item you ignore Starcall poke and keep converting all-ins into kills. |
| Two+ items | Alistar | You keep the edge late by racing her scaling: your lead should end the game before Wish matters. |
Levels 1-2 you dominate: Soraka has no hard CC and melts if you catch her in melee range, so the instant you hit 2 you W-Q her against terrain and let your ADC burst her down. Her Astral Infusion self-heal cost means every heal she throws your ADC's poke chips her own bar, so keep constant pressure and punish her for stepping up to Starcall.
