Soraka - WARMOGS ARE GO

Soraka isn't super strong and IMO is out-classed by Sona most of the time however she is situationally rather good especially as a replacement support for Jinx or other hyper-carries.

Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

EARLY GAME

We always start with Boots of SpeedBoots of Speed and upgrade this to [locket enchant] on our first back if possible. It's the most gold efficient pickup you can get for the first Dragon fight.


CORE ITEMS + Warmog's ArmorWarmog's Armor

So Soraka is weird in the way that she uses her own hp to cast [soraka:2].

In order to give Soraka the sustain she needs to last in team fights and elongated trades I like to aim for Warmog's ArmorWarmog's Armor on her in order to give her passive HP sustain.

IMPORTANT: You can achieve the 2500 hp barrier at level 10 having completed Warmog's ArmorWarmog's Armor with 2 x KindlegemKindlegem or Ardent CenserArdent Censer + KindlegemKindlegem  OR  level 11 with Ardent CenserArdent Censer + Warmog's ArmorWarmog's Armor .

You can absolutely play soraka without Warmog's but I feel like she loses hp too quickly and becomes an easy target in teamfights.

Following this, I like to go Harmonic EchoHarmonic Echo and Protector's VowProtector's Vow to round out the build.


PLAYSTYLE

Soraka is a defensive support who usually shadows the carries making sure they stay topped up on hp. You want to make sure you use EquinoxEquinox to good effect and silence/root enemies that come too close or threaten your backline. Your WishWish is a good way of influencing the map at a global level and picking up assists which can be a nice way to stack Awakened SoulstealerAwakened Soulstealer which is another build path you could opt to take.

Summon Aery is the best choice for enchanter supports.

I like triumph especially with Warmog's ArmorWarmog's Armor as it helps keep you sustained in team fights.

Loyalty + Hunter Genius are the best options following this.
