Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
So when it comes to
Soraka
, the horny champion (because she has a horn), You want to start off with
Amplifying Tome
as it will allow you quickly build
Rod of Ages
, and stacking items are best build as early as possible. We will build this item as it will synergize with
Warmog's Armor
later on. Also, it will help you be less squishy and will restore some of your mana when you take damage.
Boots will be
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
for the extra CDR and [locket enchant] for quick shields.
Once you get
Warmog's Armor
the passive will heal you A LOT so long as you don't take damage, allowing you spam your heal without worrying about your own HP. This item is very good on
Soraka
, and is probably the only tank item I'll accept on a mage support.
The other 3 remaining items are pretty simple - the 3 support items work good with
Soraka
, so take them. These items are
Ardent Censer
,
Harmonic Echo
and
Athene's Unholy Grail
