Guide to Synergizing Heimerdinger and Soraka

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger with Soraka

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Advice to Understand How Soraka Will Play

Equinox can be used as a powerful zoning tool to keep enemies at bay.

You can use Wish on your allies from across the map to save them from otherwise fatal events.

Soraka is a powerful ally in battle, using her strong healing to keep the party moving forward.
