Read from Soraka's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even: two ranged enchanters trading Q pokes with no engage between them. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even: both add poke, neither gains a kill threat. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even: her aura chip and your W sustain roughly cancel. |
| Levels 4-5 | Soraka | Levels 4-5 favour you: Sona's mana crunch there lets your paced W out-sustain and turn trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even: her Crescendo is a threat but a played-back Soraka denies the setup. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even: your sustain item offsets her haste/DPS scaling. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in it stays skill-based: both are enablers whose fed carry settles the fight. |
Levels 1-2 mirror out: both of you poke with Q and heal, and neither has an engage. Watch her Power Chord charge count because the empowered slow variant is what lets her convert poke into a committed trade. Her aura chip accumulates faster than your heal covers, so take the exchanges early and then settle. Land the star to fund the heal rather than healing on a whim, keep the silence for the moment her carry commits, and hold the wave where you can see them coming.
