My Pre-Season 6 Soraka Build

GigglingAngel·Nov 10, 2015·1 votes·8,204 views

This preseason has Soraka looking better than ever, and I thought I'd give my take on a good set-up for her.

Starting Items: , x3,

or

, x1, ,

First Back: -> ->

Item Build Priority: -> -> -> -> -> -> Eye of the Oasis -> -> -> The aim is to reach a finished Warmog's by level 15, since that is the earliest Soraka will be able to activate it with this build/set-up.

Full Build: , , Eye of the Oasis, , The last item will usually be something that fits in with what your team's needs or pink wards. Notable options include: Any would max your CDR to 45%. If the enemy team's very crit heavy, get .

Runes: 9 Hybrid Pen reds 9 Flat Armor yellows 9 Mana Regen blues 3 Flat Armor quints (With the ADCs all getting higher base damage for early game, armor is going to be even more important than before for bot lane.)

Masteries: 18 in Cunning Tier 1 = Wanderer Tier 2 = Secret Stash Tier 3 = Meditation Tier 4 = Either Bandit or Dangerous Game (It's dependent on your playstyle/ADC partner. Both are pretty good for Soraka.) Tier 5 = Intelligence Tier 6 = Windspeaker's Blessing

12 in Resolve Tier 1 = Recovery Tier 2 = Explorer Tier 3 = Runic Armor Tier 4 = Perseverance

CliffNotes (tl;dr): With this setup, Soraka will be a much more durable healing machine, and she'll be able to activate Warmog's by level 15 (provided she gets Rylai's and Eye of the Oasis, beforehand).

Oasis is one of the final tier Sightstone items, and it works very well with Soraka's kit. All of the specified masteries completely compliment Soraka's kit and help her do her job. Be sure to get Windspeaker's Blessing, at the very least!

(soraka main) If you don't know, soraka's heal takes 10% of her health. Having more health only means it will hurt you more. Better choice would be to go heavy ap and sit in bakc and heal. Or get tanky, no health items like frozen heart. It gives armor (survivability) but no health so cost won't go up. You should only have 2 HP boosting items, sightstone is one of those. The other is your choice.

Rylai's is a perfect item for Soraka (especially if you want to actually get the most out of her E), and the health that Eye of the Storm gives (the new Sightstone item she should be getting) makes it so that she's a perfect candidate for Warmog's. Her getting "hurt" isn't going to mean a thing when her "hurt" is healed at an incredible rate.

She's going to get far more hurt without Warmog's to heal her up, especially if the enemy knows how to dodge her Starcalls.

Sightstone and rylai are my perfect two hp items. What is Eye of storm? And warmog is just too much health and just ruins soraka because too much hp loss on heal.

Forgive me, I meant "Eye of the Oasis". Eye of the Oasis builds off of SIghtstone and Nomad's Medallion. It offers 200 Health, 150% Health/Mana Regen, the gold income passive, and 4 charges of wards. (Sightstone now only has 3 charges, btw.)

Instead of just having Ruby Sightstone, Riot's made it so you can fuse the gold income item with the Sightstone. There's also Eye of the Watchers (Spellthief's build) and Eye of the Equinox (Relic's build).

We agree that Rylai's is wonderful on Soraka, and Eyes of the Oasis are pretty much mandatory for her as well, so there's no reason to not build Warmog's at level 15+ for the healing it does for her. It makes it so she can heal her whole team back up and be full health herself before the next team fight.

OOooOOOO, eye sounds amazing. Still don't prefer warmog. But to each their own. Thanks for info.

the basic idea behind HP tank soraka is that she regenerates 3% of her HP per second, so Q isn't needed any more as you can throw out a heal and still be at full health every 3 seconds. This is then increased by spirit visage so you can get max CDR with full ranks in W, leaving you at 1.1 second cooldown heals.

After that, your warmog's scales with max health, so buy Rylai's, eye, and all the other HP and tank items you want.

I build her pretty healthy myself and it does wonders for the kind of power that she has.

item 3083 the power to rapidly health yourself out of combat once you've hit 3000 health. item 3065 the increased power on your heals, MR. item 3116 health, ap, slows.

Spirit doesn't increase outgoing heals, only incoming heals. Meaning everyone on your team would need it for the spirit visage boost. and warmog is just suicidal. Rlyai is perfect tho. slow on your q and e is amazing, plus the ap, plus the health. It is my core second health item.

I've posted one for a tanky/siege Heimer, before. It's an off-build, but it's pretty fun to use in some situations where sieging can help your team.

I dunno mang, Shurelia's is just so clutch on Soraka.

FiveofswordsNov 12, 20151 votes

rylais is a bad choice. athenes is a bad choice.

i do believe in warmogs on soraka...but it should be late like lvl 16-17 so you dont need other health items to activate passive. get 2 out of: deathcap/zekes/locket

you do not need mana regen at all. Heal is very low mana cost.
