Read from Blitzcrank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Blitzcrank's own plan; across 6,983 pooled games the lane is leaning Blitzcrank.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Level 1 is yours: Soraka is squishy, self-damages to heal, and has no engage to punish your positioning. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | At 2 your Overdrive plus Power Fist all-in beats her before Equinox comes online. |
| Level 3 | Blitzcrank | Level 3 stays favoured because every Starcall step-up risks a hook that halves her HP. |
| Levels 4-5 | Blitzcrank | Through 4-5 her self-costing heals only make her easier to burst after a Grab. |
| Level 6 | Blitzcrank | At 6 Static Field's burst and lockdown kill her faster than Wish can heal. |
| First item | Blitzcrank | Post-first-item CDR keeps your Grab up every wave, so she lives under permanent pick threat. |
| Two+ items | Blitzcrank | Late, removing the squishy heal-bot first with one hook keeps the whole matchup in your favour. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Soraka is fragile, sacrifices her own HP to heal with Astral Infusion (W), and has no hard engage. Threaten Rocket Grab (Q) whenever she walks up to last-hit or Starcall (Q) poke, and at 2 take Overdrive to force an all-in with Power Fist before she has Equinox (E) online. Keep your ADC close so a landed hook converts instantly. Every self-heal she casts chunks her own bar, making her even easier to burst. She spends her own health to heal and has no hard engage, so a grab plus the fist is lethal far earlier than she expects. Hold the brush and wait for a clean angle. Her silence is the only answer, so bait it with a step you can walk out of first.
