Overview
Sora the Shifting Clouds.
Strengths
Versatile playstyle, can deliver good amount of damage in Thunder form, can be bothersome chain-stunner in Torrent form.
Weaknesses
Shine in early to mid game but team-dependent in the late game. Each ult has its own positive and negative effects, like a double-edged sword.
Standard Sora Build
Tough Boots' CC and movement slow reduction is great, you can stack it with BFB for even better effects. Use Warrior Boots if your enemy are mostly Physical Damage. War Axe and Queen's Wings are your primary item as it benefits your both ults form, although you can change Queen's Wings respecting the enemies present. The rest of the items are situational.
Standard Sora Exp Laner
Thrill helps you in laning phase, harassing and poking the enemy. It also contributes to your Torrent form ult later on. FoB gives you decent spellvamp. Try to get assists or kills to maxed out its potential. Brave Smite for longer team fight and survivability. You can change it to Concussive Blast for extra damage.
Battle Spell
A solid choice for Sora. Use it to engage (combo with ults), or escape.
Laning Phase
Farm safely. Use your 1st skill to harass or last-hitting. Use 2nd + 1st skill to kite the enemy. Trade some damage until you reach Lvl. 4, this is your power spike.
Mid to Late Game
Sora can deal massive damage while in Thunder form, try to target backline or enemy jungler. But, be aware that your HP is slightly reduced in this form, so use it cautious. Maximize its brief movement speed boost and untargetable state to repositioning or charging the enemy. Thunder form combo: Ult (swipe left), 2nd skill 1x, 1st skill, 2nd skill, press ult. Besides nuking, he's stunning too! In Torrent form, Sora's Chain CC and *huge* AOE are extremely annoying. His fast cooldown and 2nd phase ult, albeit its low damage, your enemy will surely punished if you get the job done. Make sure that there are follow up damages from your teammates. Maximize its wide AOE and untargetable state to engage. Torrent form combo: Ult (swipe right), 2nd skill (try to push your enemies back to your teammates), 1st skill, press ult.
Quick Ults Tips
Try to aim your target right when using ult as it filled the gauge faster than basic attacking, so you can use 2nd phase ult quicker. Your ults benefits from ATK or HP when you use it. Thunder form use a portion of your HP to convert it to ATK, while Torrent form convert a portion of ATK to HP. So, more ATK means tankier, more HP means crazier damage!
