Read from Zyra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Zyra's own plan; across 3,502 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Your level-1 root-and-burst out-pressures her health-cost poke. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | Level-2 plant all-in threatens more than her self-heals recover. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | At 3 your plant chip out-trades and mana-starves her sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Through 4-5 you keep her shoved and force defensive Infuse silences. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | Your knock-up ult all-in out-bursts her healing at 6. |
| First item | Zyra | First-item plant DPS out-races her Q/W sustain in trades. |
| Two+ items | Zyra | Two-item burst out-paces even Wish on the immobile Soraka late. |
You out-pressure her from level 1: Soraka trades health to heal and has no mobility, so your E root plus plant burst threatens more than her Starcall poke returns, and level 2 is a real all-in window. She pays health to poke and more to heal it back, so seeded ground compounds in your favour. Root her the moment her silence is already spent, let the plants do the damage rather than your own poke, and keep your carry off the ground she casts from.
