Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 3,031 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Level 1 favours you: stronger E-Q poke against Soraka's weak Starcall and self-costing heals. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Level 2 is yours: you spike to two abilities and punish her HP-negative healing. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens as her Silence and heals give her real trading and disrupt tools. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill: her sustain matches your poke, so it comes down to landing E. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Level 6 swings to you: your R burst-plus-zone beats her reactive Wish healing. |
| First item | Hwei | First item favours you: item poke forces her to self-cost heal faster than she recovers. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | 2+ items stay yours: no engage and only reactive heals let your R keep setting picks. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Soraka's Starcall poke is weak and her Astral Infusion literally costs her own HP, so you shove, hit 2 first, and punish every heal by trading her below what she spent. Land E-Q and she can't win the HP war. Her poke is weak and she pays her own health to sustain, so the chip compounds faster than the heal covers. Have the subject queued in advance. Her silence is the only interrupt, so hold your distance and spend the mana on her rather than on the wave.
