Vel'Koz vs Soraka

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to deny Soraka's silence engage and create poke angles with (Q).
Prioritize ADC follow-up by layering (Q) slows and saving (E) for peel against Soraka's silence.
Maintain river vision to track Soraka's roam timer and prevent mid pressure or dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Use split (Q) angles to poke while avoiding minion cover and brush threats.
Hold (E) for guaranteed knockup peel when Soraka or her ADC engage or silence.
Coordinate trades when (E) silence is on cooldown to maximize ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

(E) silence can stop your engage or peel; avoid committing when it's available.
Enemy ADC follow-up after Soraka heals creates danger; peel proactively to protect your ADC.
Soraka's ultimate (R) can negate your all-in burst; avoid overcommitting without vision and ADC support.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to threaten Soraka before she can heal or silence.
Control the first wave to create lane pressure and enable your ADC to poke safely.
Use brush denial early to limit Soraka's silence angle and reduce her ADC's sustain potential.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your knockup (E) and poke (Q), enabling stronger poke and peel windows.
Level 3 grants full poke pattern; use it to pressure Soraka before she can silence or heal.
Level 6 ultimate (R) provides burst finish; engage only with confirmed ADC follow-up and vision control.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Roam after wave crashes with ADC safe to extend pressure and secure river vision for dragon.
Use (R) laser burst around confirmed ADC follow-up to win favorable 2v2 fights and set objective control.
