Soraka Build 26.22

Well above the curve at 51.2% and on the way up this patch, but Soraka's whole identity is trading her own health to keep everyone else standing. Her W hands an ally HP straight off her life total, and Q is what buys that cost back, so she is always balancing her bar against theirs. Play her from the backline, poke with Q, and hold the global heal for a fight breaking out across the map.

When Is Soraka Strongest?

This is a late-game profile, strongest with full items online, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. Soraka wins attrition, so she uses that window to out-sustain the enemy in extended fights, keeping her carries alive through burst with steady heals and a global save when the whole team is low.

Soraka Item Build

Soraka is a pure healing enchanter who trades her own health to keep her team alive, so the build stacks ability power, ability haste, and mana to make her heals bigger and her cooldowns shorter. The items turn her into a fountain of sustain that outlasts enemy damage.

Best Soraka Runes

Summon Aery fits her perfectly, since it pings off every Q poke and rides along on every heal she casts. It rewards the constant low-cost casting her kit already wants to do. Round it out with cooldown and mana so her heals stay available, because a Soraka on cooldown is just a walking target.

Rush Moonstone Renewer and lean into the scaling her healing wants. You can lose lane and still take over once the items come online. The real power spike is Redemption, which comes online at about the 23-minute mark and lets her heals outpace the damage your carries are taking. Play safe until then, because early Soraka is fragile and her W heal comes straight off her own health bar.

Soraka Skill Order

Starcall holds rank one until 8, so its damage and healing stay small through the early lane. Astral Infusion soaks up 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9 instead, and Equinox takes just one point at 3 while the other two soak the rest through level 12.

Soraka Abilities

Salvation quietly closes the distance for her, speeding her toward any nearby ally who drops low so the heal actually arrives in time. Equinox is the control half people forget she has, a zone that silences everyone inside and then roots whoever lingers when it fades.

Soraka Matchups

Soraka has to land her star to heal and stay topped up, so all-in engage and dive that burst her faster than she can sacrifice health are her worst matchups. Poke lanes she can out-sustain and immobile enemies she can silence and root are exactly what her healing and zone control punish.

Be careful into Fiddlesticks, Renata Glasc, and Rell, anything that bursts her down or cuts her healing turns her lane miserable, so play safe and hug your tower. She matches up better into Tahm Kench, Morgana, and Taric, poke-heavy lanes she can simply outsustain, so lean in and grind out the war of attrition.
