Tahm Kench into Sorakamedium

Overview

Use passive stacks and to threaten Soraka and force her to use defensively.
Control bot lane brush to deny Soraka's silence angle and create safe engage windows for your ADC.

Trading pattern

Build passive stacks through short trades, then use stun to set up ADC follow-up on Soraka or her ADC.
Hold shield to absorb poke and burst, enabling extended trades against Soraka's sustain.
Avoid engaging if knockup is on cooldown or passive stacks are low to prevent wasted all-in attempts.

Danger windows

Soraka's silence combined with brush control can block your engage and leave your ADC vulnerable.
Missing stacks can force your ADC to play defensively against Soraka's poke and follow-up.
Soraka's ultimate can negate your all-in kill threat, so avoid committing without ADC follow-up.

Early game

Deny Soraka brush control to limit her silence and poke angles on your ADC.
Use wave crash timing to pressure Soraka and create roam windows while keeping your ADC safe.

Power spikes

Level 3: Soraka's silence unlocks, so bait or deny brush to avoid engage disruption.
Level 6: Use to isolate Soraka's ADC or save your ADC from poke burst and global heal impact.

Win conditions
