Reverse-tempo enchanter build: Soraka wins when she makes every enemy closeout too incomplete to truly kill the right target. The build must therefore protect her influence range, the quality of her healing, and enough safety to keep refusing the fight's closure.
Three builds, one right answer per draft. The advisor reads the five enemies (and your allies) and names who triggers what — the same rule as the Draft MVP sheet and Ask Nexus.

Every W sends Aery with the heal, every Q sends her poking — she follows your banana rhythm exactly.

Protector's Vow

Her first real spike often appears around the first contested objective. If the team stays grouped and does not get caught before the fight, Soraka can turn an average skirmish into a winning fight through repeated healing and defensive silence.
