I. Soraka Overview:
A. Lore and Background:
Soraka, also known as the Starchild, is a celestial being from Mount Targon, dedicated to healing and the preservation of life. She descended from the stars to Runeterra, giving up her immortality in the process, to aid those in need. Soraka's selfless nature and immense healing powers make her an invaluable asset on the battlefield.

B. Role and Playstyle:
Soraka is a support champion primarily played in the bottom lane alongside an ADC (Attack Damage Carry). Her playstyle revolves around sustain, healing, and utility, rather than dealing damage. As a dedicated healer, Soraka excels at keeping her teammates alive, providing them with health, and mitigating damage.

C. Pros and Cons:
Pros:

Exceptional healing abilities
Strong sustain in lane
Global healing ultimate
High utility and crowd control
Cons:

Squishy and vulnerable to assassins
Limited mobility
Relies heavily on positioning and map awareness
Susceptible to crowd control (CC) and anti-healing effects
II. Abilities Breakdown:
A. Passive: Salvation:
Soraka's passive, Salvation, grants her bonus movement speed when moving towards low-health allies. This ability encourages Soraka players to position themselves strategically to reach wounded teammates quickly.

B. Q: Starcall:
Starcall is Soraka's primary damage ability. When cast, it deals magic damage to enemies in the targeted area and reduces their magic resistance for a short duration. Starcall also grants Soraka bonus movement speed when hitting enemy champions.

C. W: Astral Infusion:
Astral Infusion is Soraka's bread and butter ability. This targeted ability instantly heals a friendly champion, consuming a portion of Soraka's health in exchange. Astral Infusion is crucial for keeping teammates alive during skirmishes and teamfights.

D. E: Equinox:
Equinox creates a zone on the ground that silences all enemies within it after a short delay. Additionally, enemies standing in the zone take magic damage over time. Equinox is an excellent tool for silencing high-impact abilities and disrupting enemy champions' combos.

E. R: Wish:
Soraka's ultimate, Wish, is a game-changer. When activated, it instantly heals all allies on the map, regardless of their location, restoring a substantial amount of health. Wish can turn the tide of battles and save allies from the brink of death.

III. Laning Phase:
A. Positioning:
During the laning phase, position yourself slightly behind your ADC, ensuring you have a clear line of sight to both your ADC and the enemy bot lane. Avoid standing directly behind your ADC to minimize the risk of being caught by skill shots or crowd control abilities.

B. Ability Prioritization:
Maximize your healing potential by prioritizing leveling Astral Infusion (W) first. This allows you to heal your ADC more frequently and sustain them in the laning phase. Leveling Starcall (Q) second can help with poke damage and reducing enemy magic resistance.

C. Lane Synergy:
Soraka synergizes well with ADCs who benefit from sustained healing and extended trades. Champions like Jinx, Kai'Sa, or Ashe can make good use of Soraka's healing abilities and survive longer in fights. Coordinate with your ADC to optimize trades and engages.

D. Trading and Harassing:
In the early laning phase, focus on healing your ADC and harassing the enemy bot lane with Starcall. Utilize your auto-attacks to apply additional damage when safe to do so. Remember to manage your health pool effectively and avoid unnecessary risks.

IV. Mid and Late Game:
A. Roaming and Warding:
As the laning phase ends, extend your map presence by roaming and providing vision around objectives. Accompany your jungler during invades, place deep wards in the enemy jungle, and secure vision control around Dragon and Baron Nashor.

B. Teamfighting and Positioning:
During teamfights, position yourself in the backline to minimize the threat to your safety. Prioritize healing low-health allies with Astral Infusion and strategically use Equinox to silence key enemy champions. Use Starcall sparingly for damage and magic resistance reduction.

C. Objective Control:
Soraka's ultimate, Wish, gives your team a significant advantage when contesting objectives. Coordinate with your team and time your ultimate to heal and sustain your teammates during intense fights around Dragon, Baron Nashor, or towers.
