How to win lane as Soraka against Nautilus · 52.89% win rate over 5,583 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even; his hook is his only tool and a missed Q leaves him defenceless. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays neutral because his all-in needs a landed hook you can body-block. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is a wash as your Starcall sustain matches his shield-poke trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 a blocked Dredge Line keeps him off your carry, holding the lane even. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | At 6 Depth Charge is an unmissable knock-up that chains CC your heal can't stop, so he leads. |
| First item | Nautilus | On first item his tank stats let him hook-engage freely and pick your ADC through your heals. |
| Two+ items | Nautilus | With 2+ items his full CC chain locks your backline longer than you can channel sustain. |
Levels 1-4 are even: Nautilus needs to land Dredge Line to commit, and if you body-block the hook with minions his shield-poke trade stays neutral against your Starcall sustain.
