Guide to Countering Soraka as Azir

Tips for Playing as Azir against Soraka

Be a bird!

In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.

Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.

Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

Advice to Win Against Soraka

It's easier to focus Soraka than the ally she is healing.

Focus on attacking Soraka when she ever ventures to the frontline to heal her allies.

Take advantage of Soraka's long cooldown on Equinox if she uses it to harass.
