soraka is the strongest laning enchanter

wins lane against all other enchanters especially nami lucian and heimer

struggles against range like cait lux, jhin xerath, and varus lanes

don’t throw q out randomly in lane

unless it will hit 70%

soraka will outsustain every lane if she stays healthy and lands q when needed

soraka kalista has grown in popularity in pro play but is very hard to pull off in soloq

hardest matchups for soraka are lux, xerath, brand, yuumi (adc dependent)

redemption rush can be better than moonstone rush

but make sure to take ingenious hunter with redemption

standard build is swifties > moonstone > warmogs

don’t buy heal cut on soraka before warmogs ever, it is low value on soraka

swiftness boots will always have higher value than other shoes

you shouldn’t put yourself in a position to be cc’d or auto attacked in team fights

always level w second and not e, your poke is useless and is way less practical in trading situations compared to having empowered w with q

don’t put any extra points in q; max w as soon as possible

unless you are playing farming soraka, then put 3 points into q

avoid using dawnbringer and reaper skins, it is easier to see the q radius

star guardian soraka has the least noticeable q outlines

don’t use e to poke unless there is nothing useful to silence during lane

hold onto e during team fights until you need to use it (this is very important)

try to wait until full moonstone stacks before ulting

walk in and out of bush to create fake pressure in lane

prioritize your hp over everything

do NOT sacrifice your hp in a trade even if your adc is spam pinging to go in

once you lose potions and reach 50% hp it is very hard to play

try to heal your adc only after landing q unless you need to
