Playing as Soraka
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- Run to your wounded allies
Get to your wounded allies quickly: Salvation (passive) makes you run faster toward them.
- 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.
- 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 Milio
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his fireball
Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.
- Back off when the campfire's up
Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.
- Save a CC for after his R
If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.
- Go for Milio first
If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
