How to win lane as Soraka against Vel'Koz · 52.51% win rate over 2,333 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because both of you have a single low-threat ability and no all-in. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even since your Starcall heal offsets his Q-W poke and neither can kill. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | At level 3 Vel'Koz's full poke kit begins out-chipping your mana-limited healing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Through levels 4-5 his Deconstruction stacks and E zoning keep you out of Starcall range. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | At level 6 his R True-Damage burst threatens kills your heals can't reverse, unlike your utility ult. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | With first item his Liandry's-boosted poke out-scales your raw heal-per-second. |
| Two+ items | Vel'Koz | With two-plus items his combo one-shots and R shreds through all your healing. |
Levels 1-2 are even: your Starcall self-heal answers his Q-W chip, and neither of you can convert poke into a kill without jungle help, so trade patiently and don't walk into his W line.
