Soraka Support Wild Rift Guide

Soraka support counters include Leona, Nautilus, and Pyke. See the best build, runes, matchups, and game plan for Wild Rift Patch 7.3.

How to play

  • Keep healing from a safe position Use your 2nd ability to heal teammates while staying behind them. Hit enemies with your 1st ability when safe to recover some of your own health.
  • Use silence where an enemy commits Your 3rd ability places a silence zone that stops enemies casting spells. Put it under someone diving your team or channeling an ability.
  • Watch allies across the map Use your ultimate before a low-health teammate takes the next hit.

Strengths

  • Unmatched sustain that keeps a carry and a lane standing through poke and trades the enemy duo cannot match.
  • A global heal that reaches fights anywhere on the map, so her impact is never limited to her own lane.
  • Equinox (3rd) gives her real disengage, silencing an engage and rooting divers who stay in the zone.

Weaknesses

  • Immobile and squishy with nothing to save herself, so any hook or hard engage that reaches her kills her.
  • Her healing is gated by mana and cooldowns, so careless sustain leaves her with nothing available when the collapse comes.
  • No engage and no burst, so she cannot punish a lane or force a kill on her own terms.

Soraka Support Counters

Who counters Soraka Support in Wild Rift (WR)? These champions beat Soraka in the support matchup, with how each one wins. Learn to play around them or ban them in ranked.

  • Leona: Leona's targeted stun opens a chain that lands on the immobile healer first, and you cannot heal through a full lockdown combo onto your own face.
  • Nautilus: His hook drags you out of position and his kit chains crowd control long enough that no amount of healing matters once you are caught.
  • Pyke: He is built to make your healing irrelevant: his ultimate executes anyone left under its health threshold, his whole kit hunts squishy backline supports, and a qualifying champion death inside its X grants a recast.
  • Rell: Her engage locks you down hard and arrives whether you are ready or not, so your sustain ends up answering a fight that already ended once she binds you.
  • Blitzcrank: A single grab removes you from the fight entirely, and an immobile healer is the easiest hook target in the lane, so one landed hook erases your whole sustain advantage.
  • Thresh: You are his prime hook target: immobile, squishy, and worth the whole lane when a hook lands. Flay (3rd) does not interrupt the instant cast of Astral Infusion (2nd), but Thresh's chained crowd control can stop you from reaching or repeatedly healing the ally he catches, while his lantern rescues his own partner.

Champions Soraka Is Strong Against

Soraka's best matchups in Wild Rift. Soraka holds an edge against these picks in the support role, so look to press the advantage and contest objectives.

  • Braum: He brings poke and a shield but no real kill pressure on you, so the lane turns into a grind your sustain wins while his side runs out of patience and mana.
  • Milio: A disengage mirror that becomes a patience contest: his shields and cleanse blunt your harass, but nothing in his kit can punch through your sustain, and you out-poke him with Starcall (1st).
  • Janna: Nobody out-sustains you in pure attrition. Her disengage saves her from ganks, not from healing that never runs out, so the long game belongs to you.
  • Morgana: Black Shield (3rd) can prevent Equinox's (3rd) silence and delayed root while it holds, and Dark Binding (1st) threatens Soraka's immobile positioning. Place Equinox (3rd) after the shield is broken or on Morgana before she begins a new cast; silence does not erase projectiles or spells already released.

Soraka Support Synergies

The best duo partners for Soraka in the Wild Rift support role. The Dragon lane is a 2v2, so queue with one of these picks to make the lane and the mid game much easier.

  • Caitlyn: Her traps and net keep enemies off both of you, and your heals turn her poke-siege lane into one that never has to back down. Range plus sustain is a slow strangle.
  • Kog'Maw: You keep the artillery alive: Astral Infusion (2nd) keeps his uptime going without costing you health, and your silence zone breaks the dive before it reaches him.
  • Tristana: Her all-in resets pair with your heals: she jumps in knowing Astral Infusion (2nd) covers the trade, and Equinox (3rd) silences the counter-engage her dive invites.

Early Game

Play the long game from the first wave. Heal damaged allies to build three passive stacks, then use the enlarged, 140%-damage Starcall (1st) when the enemy steps up. A champion hit gives Soraka Rejuvenation and removes two seconds from Astral Infusion's (2nd) remaining cooldown, letting Q (1st) lead directly into another W (2nd). Manage mana carefully while using Astral Infusion (2nd), and hold Equinox (3rd) for the route a diver must remain in for 1.5 seconds before its delayed root.

Mid Game

Wish (Ult) reaches every allied champion, so watch all lanes and wait when possible until endangered allies fall below 35% health for the stronger heal. Do not delay into lethal damage just to chase the threshold. Leave Dragon lane after the wave is safe and move with allies rather than entering river alone. Before objectives, ward from behind the frontline, use healing to charge empowered Starcall (1st), and place Equinox (3rd) across the choke a diver or enemy jungler must cross.

Late Game

Stand behind your team and away from the flank routes the enemy can use to reach you. Cast Wish (Ult) when several allies are about to take lethal damage or when its healing changes an important fight elsewhere, not simply when health bars first drop. Keep Equinox (3rd) for the diver who crosses your frontline, then reposition while the silence interrupts the next cast. Soraka's value depends on surviving long enough to repeat Astral Infusion (2nd), so retreat with the carry rather than remaining to deal minor damage.

Teamfights

Stay behind the fight and use Astral Infusion (2nd) on damaged allies to build Starcall (1st) stacks. At three, land the larger empowered Q (1st) on a champion to deal 140% damage, slow them, heal Soraka through Rejuvenation, and cut two seconds from W's (2nd) remaining cooldown before healing again. Drop Equinox (3rd) under a committed diver: the zone silences immediately, but the root happens only when it erupts after 1.5 seconds. Use Wish (Ult) across all five health bars, prioritizing the below-35% amplification without waiting past a lethal moment.
