Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Soraka

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Soraka

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

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.
