How to win lane as Soraka against Leona · 51.72% win rate over 4,321 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because Leona has no poke and Soraka can out-space her with Starcall. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based as long as Soraka respects Leona's E-Q engage timing behind minions. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains a wash since Soraka's sustain refunds any chip while dodging Leona's engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 careful spacing keeps the lane even because Leona still needs to land E to threaten. |
| Level 6 | Leona | Leona spikes at 6 as Solar Flare chains a full lockup burst Soraka's Wish cannot out-heal. |
| First item | Leona | On first item tank and Mandate items make Leona's engage a guaranteed kill setup. |
| Two+ items | Leona | With two-plus items Leona's lockchain deletes the ADC before Soraka's heals can matter. |
Levels 1-4 are skill-based. Leona is all-in with no poke, so if you hug your minions and out-space her with Starcall she can't land an E-Q engage, and your sustain slowly grinds her out. The danger is her level-2 timing and any bush she wards — respect fog, don't overstep for a Q, and keep your ADC behind you.
