Playstyle
Starcall has a short cooldown and shreds magic resist, so simply casting it on cooldown takes lane priority. Athene's Unholy Grail solves the mana and the cooldown reduction at once, which means there is never a reason to stop. Wish still saves a lane on the other side of the map. With no mobility, you have to hold an angle where the jungler cannot reach you.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Soraka is a powerful ally in battle, using her healing and mana restoration spells to keep the party moving forward.
- You can use Wish on your allies from across the map to save them from otherwise fatal events.
- Starcall's damage can really add up when used consecutively.
Playing against
- Focus on attacking Soraka if she ever ventures to the frontline in a team fight.
- If your team has several casters, it's worth investing in an Abyssal Scepter to counter Soraka's passive.
- Watch out for Soraka's Starcall debuff - the negative magic resist can begin to add up.
