Soraka tips:

  • Soraka is a powerful ally in battle, using her strong healing to keep the party moving forward.
  • You can use Wish on your allies from across the map to save them from otherwise fatal events.
  • Equinox can be used as a powerful zoning tool to keep enemies at bay.

Playing Against Braum

  • Braum must land Winter's Bite or a basic attack to start Concussive Blows. If you get marked, exit combat range before getting hit 3 more times to avoid the stun.
  • Braum's ultimate has a long cast time, use that extra time to dodge. Walking over the frozen ground left behind will slow you, position so that you don't need to cross it.
  • Unbreakable gives Braum extremely strong directional defense, either wait until it is down or outposition the ability.
