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 Leona

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Respect her level 2

    Back off if she reaches level 2 before you: Zenith Blade (E) then Shield of Daybreak (Q) root you, then stun you.

  2. Trade after her E

    Trade right after Zenith Blade (E): it's her only dash to engage, and it has a 12 to 6 second cooldown.

  3. Don't line up with an ally

    Don't stand in line with an ally when facing her: Zenith Blade (E) damages every enemy in its path and roots the last champion hit.

  4. Save your answer for her engage

    If you have a knockback or a cleanse, save it for her engage: her whole combo relies on Zenith Blade (E) followed by a stun.

  5. Get out of the center of her R

    When Solar Flare (R) lands, get out of the center: it stuns, while the edge only slows.
