How to win lane as Taric against Soraka · 49.25% win rate over 729 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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.
