Playing as Soraka

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Star first, heal second

    Hit a champion with Starcall (Q) before Astral Infusion (W): Rejuvenation heals you, lowers the heal's health cost and passes to the healed ally.

  2. Run to your wounded allies

    Get to your wounded allies quickly: Salvation (passive) makes you run faster toward them.

  3. Equinox on a channel

    Place Equinox (E) under an enemy who is channeling: the zone silences them, then roots champions still inside at the end.

  4. Save an ally anywhere

    Save Wish (R) to rescue an ally anywhere on the map: the heal is stronger on allies below 40% health.

Playing against LeBlanc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break her chain

    As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.

  2. Trade after her Distortion

    Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.

  3. Save your protection for her burst

    If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.

  4. Aim at her return point

    If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.

  5. Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc

    When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.
