Introduction
Hi my fellow dinosaurs! my name is LiliGwen. I’ve only been playing for a bit over a year now, I started off by playing malphite support before moving on to soraka. I’m not really focused on ranked, but I do like trying out things in norms a lot which is why I’m making a guide on how I like to play soraka.
Why would someone go tank on soraka over a normal utility build? Because we all know how squishy soraka can be, so having the possibility of making her tankier and being a healing fountain is very nice. The main items we use here would be
Warmog's Armor and Rod of Ages(very uncommon on soraka, I know ,but trust me, it works).

Pros/cons
|
Pros
|
+ Tankier. +Never run out of Hp. + Strong shields. + Infinite healing for your allies. |
Soraka is known to be squishy and it is one of the main reasons of why I wasn’t playing her that much before, but this build will make you way tankier, you’ll never run out of hp which means that you can heal everyone without any problem . |
|
Cons
|
- Weak heals. - Run out of mana often - Lack of ap. |
Of course, this build have its downsides, but at least Rod of Ages help with the lack of mana and ap, just always make sure to not get poked so you can heal everyone without running out of hp.
|
|
|
Guardian is the best pick when going for a Tank soraka, it offers a great shield for you and your ally. But if you’re playing against champs like Lux then i wouldn’t recommend taking these as you need to stick close to your adc. |
|
|
After taking damage from an enemy, you will take 25-50 less damage from the three next spells/attacks you get. |
|
|
You absolutely need font of life as it marks enemy when using Starcall on them. When allied champions hit a marked enemy it will heal them a bit.
|
|
|
Makes you shield and heal 5% stronger, very since we’re going for a tank focused build. (meaning you have less ap/items that makes your heals stronger) |
|
|
Gives Cdr. |
|
|
Get some items a bit earlier, but I don’t really like using this one as biscuit delivery is a better optien in this build |
|
|
You’ll run out of hp and mana a lot in early game , so it’s always great to have a biscuit to save your life when you need hp and mana. |
|
|
Approach velocity Make you faster towars allies that are movement impaired, useful when you run to them and shield them with Guardian
|
|
|
Gives you ap over the game |
|
|
This rune is great, but you need to make sure you’re against someone you can poke easily |
|
|
Burns your enemies, wouldn’t really recommend it. |
Core Items
Eye of ascensiongreat item since it give coins, so you don't have to poke the enemy to uprade the item and it have healt whic you're gonna need if you build Warmog's Armor
Rod of ages Rod of age gives a great amount Ap/mana/Hp which is very important if you want this build to actually work. Gives you a bit of mana/hp/ap each minutes, 15% of the damages you take will become mana. |
_____ |
Warmog's armor Gives lot of hp, but most importantly, it also makes it impossible for you to run out of hp to heal your allies. |

mikael's crucible Removes slow, taunts, fear, roots, stunts. Good amount of magic resist and base mana regeneration, its passive makes your heals and shields stronger.

Locket of the iron solari Gives armor and magic resistance, also give a shield to your and your allies. |

Here I'm gonna show a few build examples.
-utility armor build-
Here you could swap
with
but don't ever take them in the same build as they have similar stats and passives it would be useless to take them both.
When building
you're probably gonna be a bit under 3000hp which is what you need for the warmog to work so this is why building an item like
is important.
this build will let you give ifinite heals, good shields, and
increase the healing you get from
Do this with you friends and not in ranked games.

Matchups
Vs Nami
|
|
Nami players often starts by Ebb and Flow, this champ is honestly annoying to play against because of the amount of poke you get from this ability. It’s important to stay out of her range as much as possible, Guardian is a also a great way to reduce the damage you get from it, you could start the game by picking Equinox first instead of Starcall if you want but it’s not such a good idea as it cost a lot of mana and have a high cooldown. |
Vs tresh/blitz/pyke
|
|
Their grabs are different but in the end you still need to always stay behind minions to not get grabbed. For pyke i like to use Equinox to cancel his grab. It’s important to know your enemies ability cooldowns, why? Because then you can know when your enemy will use it(not exactly but you can still expect when it’s gonna happen), so then I make sure to stay out of range at this moment. The last tip I would have against these champ is to be fast, Mobility Boots are nice to run away and be right out of their range. |
Vs Morgana/Lux
|
|
Like I said earlier always expect when your enemy is gonna have one of his ability ready, when you’re against lux it’s important to know that so you don’t stick on your adc to use guardian to protect them agaisnt her Light Binding, then both of you would be hit by it. But if she throw her Lucent Singularity (or Tormented Shadow for morgana) then now you can use guardian on your ally, there’s items like Adaptive Helm or mikael’s crucible that could help you against them. |
Brand
|
|
Brand’s range is huge so honestly the best you can do here would be to stay near tower and ward the bushes before he starts hiding there, if your adc push too much and brand is dealing too much dmg remind them to back off to not get killed. Items like Adaptive Helm will reduce a bit further damage you take from one spell. |
Lulu
|
|
Stay behind minions but not to close to the minions her Glitterlance have a wide range unlike her other spells and is a bit easier to dodge, so it’s important to stay out of her other spells range (650 units). Spirit Visage can be a good item against her. |
