How to win lane as Zilean against Soraka · 50.02% win rate over 2,049 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Two immobile supports at level 1 means no early edge, purely skill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level-2 stun and her heal-sustain cancel, keeping it even. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 her heals match your poke, so it stays skill-decided. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 burst and sustain stay balanced, hinging on all-in execution. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Neither ult wins lane 2v2, so level 6 is even. |
| First item | Even / skill | Poke and mana items arrive together, leaving first item a skill matchup. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two scaling enablers trade evenly, so late fights turn on positioning. |
Even and slow at 1-3: Soraka wants a passive poke-and-heal grind while you look for the level-2 double-bomb stun. She has no dash and pays health to heal, so a clean burst all-in punishes her, but a single uncoordinated bomb is trivially healed back by Astral Infusion.
