How to win lane as Soraka against Pyke · 53.28% win rate over 4,835 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — no hook range advantage yet and you both just soak XP. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based on whether he lands an early Bone Skewer. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains a coin-flip decided by hook accuracy versus your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are still even as long as you deny the pull from behind minions. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Level 6 favors Pyke: his R execute resets on your heal-topped allies and turns sustain into kills. |
| First item | Pyke | First item favors Pyke as lethality makes his hook-to-execute chain unhealable. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | At 2+ items Pyke stays ahead — roam picks and R execute beat raw Soraka healing all game. |
Levels 1-4 are skill-based: Pyke can't burst you outright but every Bone Skewer (Q) hook is a potential kill, so you play from behind the minion line, poke with Starcall, and heal conservatively to avoid handing him a low-HP execute target.
