Xerath vs Soraka

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) poke to deny Soraka's ADC access and pressure her healing windows.
Control brush to limit Soraka's silence (E) engage angles and protect your ADC from root setups.
Track (R) cooldown to time aggressive plays or defensive resets with your ADC.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) to force (W) heal before committing to all-ins.
Hold (E) stun defensively to peel against Soraka's silence (E) engage attempts.
Coordinate engages when (E) is on cooldown to reduce her peel and counter-engage.

Danger windows

(Q) landing before her heal (W) can enable strong enemy ADC trades; respect this timing.
Soraka's silence (E) can stop your ADC's engage or escape; avoid overextending near brush.
Soraka's global (R) can turn fights; avoid committing all-in without vision and ADC follow-up.

Early game

Win level 2 with your ADC to force Soraka's heal cooldown and gain lane priority.
Deny brush control early to reduce Soraka's silence (E) and root threat on your ADC.
Use early poke to pressure Soraka's health pool, limiting her ability to sustain her ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2: Your poke and (E) stun outmatch Soraka's initial heal, enabling lane pressure.
Level 6: Your ultimate (R) extends poke range and pick potential, forcing Soraka to play defensively.
First completed mana/AP item: Boosts your poke damage, making trades more punishing for Soraka's sustain.

Win conditions

Convert poke advantage into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Set river vision to track Soraka's roam timer and secure dragon control.
Use your (R) and (E) to enable picks or disengage, creating safe windows for your ADC to deal damage.

Tip: For Xerath vs Soraka, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
