How to win lane as Soraka against Poppy · 48.91% win rate over 916 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a wash — neither of you has kill pressure and Poppy needs a wall to threaten anything. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even: her Heroic Charge combo is neutralized off-wall and you have no burst either. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill-based — respecting her E gap-close versus your poke decides the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a coin-flip on her landing the wall-pin before you out-sustain her. |
| Level 6 | Soraka | Level 6 favors you: your Wish out-heals Poppy's single-target all-in and she lacks poke to whittle you first. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as she can still catch a mispositioned pin, but your sustain is climbing. |
| Two+ items | Soraka | At 2+ items you win: global Wish plus Redemption out-heal her chip and neutralize her engage all game. |
Levels 1-2 are even and low-stakes: Poppy has no poke without a wall and you have no kill pressure, so trade Starcall (Q) chip for her Iron Ambassador (Q) shield-procs and keep positioning toward open lane so her Heroic Charge (E) never finds a pin.
