Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Brand's own plan; across 3,603 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | You out-poke a self-damaging healer at level 1 with W-passive trades. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Your level-2 W-Q burst beats a full Soraka heal cycle. |
| Level 3 | Brand | At 3 her slow Q root can't punish you while you keep poking. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Through 4-5 anti-heal poke drains her faster than she can sustain. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Level-6 Pyroclasm kills through her heals, especially with Grievous Wounds. |
| First item | Brand | First-item Torch plus anti-heal turns your poke into pure heal-negation. |
| Two+ items | Brand | Your R one-shot on her squishy body keeps you ahead even as she scales. |
You dominate levels 1-2. Soraka has to sacrifice her own health with Astral Infusion to sustain, so every time she heals her ADC you W-Q her face and out-trade the exchange. She has no CC to punish you and no escape from your poke. She pays her own health to sustain, so the burn compounds faster than the heal does. Keep Blaze applied and punish every cast she makes. Her silence is the only thing that stops your rotation, so bait it with a step you can leave and commit on the beat afterwards.
