Abilities & tips

Soraka combos: execution and timing

AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.

Include Wish in the rotation

  1. StarcallQ
  2. WishR
  3. Astral InfusionW

With Soraka, start with Starcall, then continue through Wish → Astral Infusion. Time Astral Infusion around the damage you expect, rather than using it simply because its key appears in the sequence.

Mistake to avoid : Do not turn a safe exchange into an unsupported chase just to finish the displayed sequence.

Follow up with Starcall

  1. StarcallQ
  2. AA
  3. EquinoxE

With Soraka, start with Starcall, then continue through Basic attack → Equinox. Choose a position that lets Starcall work without losing your retreat. Check the next target’s range before following the sequence.

Mistake to avoid : Do not turn a safe exchange into an unsupported chase just to finish the displayed sequence.

05

Game plan by role

Soraka · Support
Early game

Stand where you can help your lane partner without exposing both of you. Coordinate the opening before spending your main control or protection.

Mid game

Set up vision with nearby allies rather than walking into unlit areas alone. Roam when your lane partner can safely handle the next wave.

Teamfights

Choose between creating an opening and protecting the teammate who can carry the fight. Do not spend every defensive spell on the first visible enemy.

Before your next fight, check: Starcall · Wish · Combos

06

Matchup preparation

Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.

07

Practice checklist

  1. Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
  2. Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
  3. After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
