Like all squishy enchanters, hook champions are very scary. You have a good disengage with your silence and slow, but you're still very susceptible to burst. Dodge their hooks, poke when on CD!

I love competitive games and have yet to find anything for me that compares to League.
Aside from League, I am a happily married man, father of 2 kids and I am a beloved pet owner.

Boots of Mobility > MOVEMENT SPEED These have good synergy with ![]() ![]() ![]() Mercury's Treads > TENACITY/AP RESIST If the enemy team has a lot of CC, or a lot of AP damage, you can trade Mobi's out for these. They offer +25 magic resist, along with reducing the effect of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, silences, blinds and immobilizes by 30%. Ionian Boots of Lucidity > CDR A good choice to take if you need to be getting out extra abilities, and need the extra CDR, although you do generally hit the CDR cap as support, so they do pair well with ![]() |

Starcall (Q) RANGE: 800 EFFECT RADIUS: 235 COST: 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 mana COOLDOWN: 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 |
ACTIVE: ![]() Hitting at least one enemy champion returns the star dust toward ![]() While ![]() ![]() |
Starcall grants sight of the area before it lands, so you don't have to face check brushes.
Starcall counts as hitting even if it gets blocked by
Spell Shield, granting rejuvenation.
- Rejuvenation heals over 12 ticks, with the first 4 each healing for about 15% of the heal, the next 4 ticks for about 5.5% each, and the last 4 for about 4.5% each.
![]() |
Astral Infusion (W) TARGET RANGE:550 COST: 10% maximum HP + 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 COOLDOWN:8 / 6.5 / 5 / 3.5 / 2 |
ACTIVE: ![]() ![]() |
- If
Soraka is below 10% of her maximum health,
Astral Infusion will only bring her down to 1 HP.
- Early laning phase it's better to land a
Starcall before
Astral Infusion, but it's not necessary if your ally is innate danger.
![]() |
Equinox (E) TARGET RANGE: 925 EFFECT RADIUS: COST: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 mana COOLDOWN: 20 / 19 / 18 / 17 / 16 |
ACTIVE: ![]() After 1.5 seconds, the zone detonates, dealing the same magic damage to all enemy champions within and briefly rooting them up to 2s at max rank. |
- The silence is applied once every 0.25 seconds.
- Very good when used in a teamfight, silencing multiple enemies.
![]() |
Wish (R) EFFECT RADIUS: GLOBAL COST: 100 COOLDOWN: 160 / 145 / 130 |
ACTIVE: ![]() |
- Unless the ally is at full health,
Soraka will gain an assist on kills when using
Wish to heal an ally, regardless if it is cross map.
- Keep an eye on your allies portraits, you can turn a fight from across the map with
Wish. You'll also grant allies
Ardent Censer buff.
