Read from Soraka's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zyra.
This is Soraka's own plan; across 3,502 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even with both supports poking and no kill threat online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even since your Starcall heal offsets her early Q-E poke. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | At level 3 Zyra's seeded plants and Q begin out-chipping your healing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Through levels 4-5 her plant poke and E root all-in threat outweigh your sustain. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | At level 6 her Stranglethorns all-in far outmatches your reactive Wish heal. |
| First item | Zyra | With first item her Liandry's poke out-scales your support item's heal-per-second. |
| Two+ items | Zyra | With two-plus items her R burst and root chains kill through all your healing. |
Levels 1-2 are even: your Starcall self-heal answers her early Q-E poke and her plants aren't threatening yet, so the lane rides on the ADC trade and dodging her root. Her root into seeded plants out-damages your healing, so clear the seeds nearest your carry first. Land the star only when it is free, keep the silence for the moment her root lands, and hold the wave near your side rather than fighting on ground she prepared.
