Tahm Kench vs Soraka

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) stacks to threaten Soraka and force her to use (E) defensively before engage.
Control brush to deny Soraka's silence angle and create safer engage windows for your ADC.
Prioritize protecting your ADC from Soraka's poke and sustain by timing (R) for saves.

Trading pattern

Stack passive with short trades, then use (Q) stun to set up ADC follow-up on Soraka or her ADC.
Hold (E) shield to absorb poke and burst, enabling longer trades against Soraka's sustain.
Avoid engaging if (W) knockup is on cooldown or passive stacks are low to prevent wasted all-in attempts.

Danger windows

(E) silence combined with brush control can block your engage and leave your ADC vulnerable.
(Q) poke plus ADC follow-up can force your ADC to play defensively if you miss (Q) stacks.
Soraka's ultimate (R) can negate your all-in kill threat, so avoid committing without ADC follow-up.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (Q) and coordinating with ADC to punish Soraka's lower engage threat.
Deny Soraka brush control to limit her silence (E) and poke (Q) angles on your ADC.
Use wave crash timing to pressure Soraka and create roam windows while your ADC stays safe.

Power spikes

Level 2: Your (Q) plus passive stacks threaten stuns, enabling strong engage before Soraka's full heal.
Level 3: Soraka's silence (E) unlocks, so bait or deny brush to avoid engage disruption.
Level 6: Use (R) to isolate Soraka's ADC or save your ADC from Soraka's poke burst and global heal impact.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) stuns into ADC access denial and forced recalls on Soraka's ADC.
Use (R) proactively to protect your ADC from Soraka's poke and silence during all-ins.
Set river vision and time roams after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure dragon control with your ADC.
