Read from Lux's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Lux's own plan; across 8,067 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Your Q root and E outrange Soraka's short Starcall poke. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 stacked poke out-damages a single Astral Infusion. |
| Level 3 | Lux | Her self-damaging heals can't sustain through your Q-E trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Your poke war advantage holds as she bleeds health healing. |
| Level 6 | Lux | Final Spark is a near-guaranteed execute on immobile Soraka. |
| First item | Lux | Item burst outpaces her regen when you chain a root. |
| Two+ items | Lux | She stays a squishy with no self-peel your burst deletes. |
You win the poke war early: Soraka's only trade tool is Starcall (Q), and every Astral Infusion she casts costs her own health, so your stacked Q-E-auto poke out-damages her sustain. Play forward and root her whenever she steps up. Her only trade tool costs her health to cast and more to heal back, so the chip compounds in your favour. Drop the zone on the ground she has to stand on, and hold the root for the moment her silence is already spent on your carry rather than on you.
