How to win lane as Neeko against Soraka · 44.93% win rate over 917 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 you out-damage a Soraka who has only a weak self-heal and no waveclear. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Your level-2 all-in bursts faster than her health-cost heals can refund. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | At 3 continued Q+E trades keep draining an HP pool she can't protect. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Through 4-5 she still can't peel or trade, so your kill pressure holds. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Pop Blossom at 6 pushes damage past what one Astral Infusion can save. |
| First item | Neeko | First-item burst plus grievous wounds outruns her sustain in every committed trade. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | She never gains kill threat, so your pick game keeps winning even into 2+ items. |
You dominate levels 1-2: Soraka has no waveclear or damage, only a small Starcall heal, so your Q Blooming Burst and E Tangle-Barbs win every trade outright. Punish her every time she steps up to Q for sustain — her HP bar is the lowest in the class and every Astral Infusion she casts costs her own health. Get level 2 first and force an early Flash or heal-dump.
