Added to her sustain in lane, with her heal and her infuse, it is very hard to push a good Soraka player out of lane and away from farming. Her pushing the lane with starcall will also cause you to lose creep kills too, when your tower starts eating their minions. She's not one of the best champions to carry with, but still viable if people know how to play her (but then again, all champions are). Getting 10 stacks of shred on a person, then baiting a tower dive is fun everytime. | ||

Its really funny when you get fed and they dont have the burst to kill you and you just run around killing everything with q spam. Edit - rylais is good too if they are heavy melee that are kitable. Skill order is R>Q, then e or w based on how scared you are of the other mid (w if they have burst/are chunking you, e if you can just zone and laugh at their damage). | ||

She also counters kassadin very hard. Her range on her E is 75 more range than kassadin's Q, so he can never get close enough, in theory, to cast it on you (also helps that her E is instant and his Q is a projectile). Also, the fact that he is melee and has weak AoE means you can just push him under tower the whole time. She shuts him down quite hard and keeps him from roaming around the map, which is his strong point. On April 22 2012 01:49 ManyCookies wrote: Has anyone tried top Soraka? Her sustained damage is super amazing, she can have a ton of armour for some trades, and she should be able to heavily punish most tops for CSing. I don't like pushing top early on, which is what you do as soraka. The ability to stall the lane at your tower pre level 9 for most tops is the goal. Soraka just guarantees that. Your Q pushes the lane every time you harass with it. She has no real escape mechanism, so over-extending on her is very risky. | ||

Soraka, in turn, counters poke supports such as Janna and Sona. | ||

Runes: Marks - armor Seals - 8 gp10, 1 armor Glyphs - Flat mres (can also go with flat cdr) Quints - 2 MS, 1 gp10 Masteries: http://www.fieldsofjustice.com/m/#/uPPlaPqyleaeZnnZau The 2 points in awareness can be put anywhere else if needed (maybe in tough skin, if you plan on playing agressively). I find this set of masteries superior to the 1/15/14 which is common on bruiser supports like leona/blitz/taric. Skill order is either WEWQ or WEWE then R > W > E > Q. You can choose to completely ignore starcall if you wish to play passively. | ||

How is this post so old? K guys, seriously, play like ONE GAME as AP Soraka and tell me it's not the most fun build in the game. Anyhow, my question is, in the build linked above, what item (if any) to take out for liandry's? | ||

There isn't an updated sona guide here on TL, but if you want i can give you some tips, runes, masteries etc. PM if it sounds interesting. Sona was my most played champion in S2 and helped me gain plat, so i do have some knowledge. | ||

I've been thinking mostly Homeguard, but I don't think any of them are super great on her. You can use Furor to help you run away by using E to proc the sprint, and Alacrity is good because it's just straight movement speed. I wanted to do Crucible on her last game (was supporting a Varus, so wanted more peeling power), but they quit before I could finish it. I liked Chalice though, made W spam a bit less mana intensive and probably would have allowed for some Q spam as well. I mean, I never really feel mana hungry on her except against really aggressive lanes where I'm healing on cooldown, but it's kind of nice to never ever have to leave lane. | ||
