Soraka’s point distribution is one that is not set in stone – depending on which champions you face on the botlane, you may decide to invest more points in “Star Rain” (Q), as this makes a difference that should not be underestimated if you want to put more pressure on your opponents. Nevertheless, as is often the case, you should never invest more than 3 points in “Star Rain”, otherwise Soraka’s most important ability – “Astral Infusion” (W) – will suffer greatly. And with that out of the way, let’s move on to her abilities.

Her passive ability “Redemption” is a very simple one, which gives Soraka a lot of movement speed when she moves in the direction of a dying teammate.

Soraka’s “Astral Infusion” (W) is probably her best-known ability, which sacrifices her own life points to heal an ally.

The “Star Rain (Q)” fires a projectile that deals damage and slows down an area. If an enemy champion is hit with it, Soraka heals for a short time and gains some movement speed. If you use the “Astral Infusion” (W) during this healing effect, it costs less of your own life (or none at all if the “Astral Infusion” is at level 5), and the healed target also receives the bonus of the additional healing over time and the additional movement speed. Especially early in the game, reducing the life cost of Astral Infusion (W) is very important, so hitting an enemy champion with Star Rain is very important.

The “Equinox” (E) places a circle that damages and silences the enemies in it. If there are enemies in the circle when it disappears, they take damage again and are held for a short time. The silencing of this ability makes it particularly powerful, as enemies cannot then use their abilities to escape from the field. So if they are already suffering from another CC that prevents enemies from simply running out of the field, they have even fewer options until the circle disappears and they are held for even longer.

Your “wish” (R) is a very simple, but not to be underestimated ability that heals all other players, regardless of where they are currently on the map. The healing is then even stronger for any target that is already very wounded, which is especially helpful if you find yourself on a botlane without a botlane, so that you can use your “wish” to win a fight on the top lane – the top lane will thank you, and there is also gold for assistance.
