How to win lane as Soraka against Hwei · 51.15% win rate over 2,618 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because neither Soraka nor Hwei has meaningful kill or poke pressure with one ability. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based as both champions have thin kits and trade cautiously behind minions. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Hwei pulls ahead at 3 because his two-part QE-into-WW poke out-ranges and out-damages your single Starcall. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Through 4-5 Hwei's layered snares and pool zoning keep draining your mana faster than your heals can refund. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Hwei's level-6 zone ult has real agency and can negate your reactive Wish, so his ult swings the lane. |
| First item | Hwei | On first item Blackfire/Malignance lets Hwei's WW execute and QE burst outpace your single-target heal. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | With two-plus items Hwei's full artillery range and pick threat overwhelm your purely reactive enchanter profile. |
Levels 1-2 are close and skill-based: neither of you has kill pressure, so hug your caster minions and only Q when Hwei is committed to a CS animation. Respect that his QQ outranges your Starcall, and don't trade HP for a heal you'll immediately need back.
