Summon Aery
Damaging enemy champions with basic attacks or abilities sends Aery to them, dealing 10 - 50 based on level (+
0.05 AP ) (+0.1 bonus AD ).
Empowering or protecting allies with abilities sends Aery to them, shielding them for 30 - 100 based on level (+0.05 AP ) (+0.1 bonus AD ).
Aery cannot be sent out again until she returns to you.Why?
Summon Aery is a great option for Soraka both offensively (with autos and [Q]) and defensively (with [W]).
Manaflow Band
Hitting an enemy champion with an ability permanently increases your maximum mana by 25, up to 250 mana.
After reaching 250 bonus mana, restore 1% of your missing mana every 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 secondsWhy?
Manaflow Band is a great option here for Soraka because you're going to want to play aggressively in lane early spamming [Q].
Celerity
All movement bonuses are 7% more effective on you and gain
1% Move Speed .Why?
Celerity on Soraka allows you to position yourself safely in teamfights and skirmishes so that you're able to continue pumping out heals. As a added benefit, when your passive kicks in and you get the Bonus Movement Speed towards low allies, Celerity will grant a bit more extra AP to empower those heals.
Scorch
Your next damaging ability hit sets champions on fire dealing 20 - 40 bonus magic damage based on level after 1s.
Cooldown: 10sWhy?
Scorch allows you to dominate the lane phase if you're able to consistently land your [Q].
Revitalize
Gain 5% Heal and Shield Power.
Heals and shields you cast or receive are 10% stronger on targets below 40% health.Why?
Because you're going to be healing so much over the course of the game, Revitalize gets fantastic value, especially if the target is low health.
Bone Plating
After taking damage from an enemy champion, the next 3 spells or attacks you receive from them deal 30-60 (based on level) less damage.
Duration: 1.5s
Cooldown: 55sWhy?
Bone plating allows you to survive all-ins and early trades where you might otherwise die.
