Read from Taric's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Taric's own plan; across 1,512 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Soraka | Soraka's level-1 Q pokes while healing, out-sustaining your single-target kit. |
| Level 2 | Soraka | Her level-2 Starcall silence rhythm lets her zone and out-trade your poke. |
| Level 3 | Soraka | Level 3 she still wins the sustain war healing off the same Q casts. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By levels 4-5 your Bravado cadence starts out-pacing her heal throughput. |
| Level 6 | Taric | Your level-6 R negates her Wish global heal in the 2v2 all-in. |
| First item | Taric | First item your poke and burst out-value her healing and win trades. |
| Two+ items | Taric | With 2+ items your E-R all-in kills through her heals and she can't self-peel. |
Soraka wins the opening levels through pure sustain: her Q pokes you while healing herself, and her W tops off any damage you land, so a poke-based approach loses. Don't trade E as poke; hold it for a committed all-in. Her level-2 Q silence rhythm lets her zone, so play for XP and set up a hard all-in rather than chipping. She pays health to sustain and cannot interrupt your wind-up, so link your carry and take the exchanges. Hold the stun for the moment her silence is already spent, and let the empowered autos rather than the heal charges be what closes a trade she cannot escape.
