Mobile Legends Sora Build Guide Gameplay Tips

Sora is an aggressive fighter with skill sets that allow you to chase and constantly peel enemies on the battlefield. When played correctly, you can initiate each engagement, punish overextending enemies, and consistently control the outcome of battles.

According to his gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Nonetheless, you must have a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero. This Mobile Legends (MLBB) Sora guide includes the perfect game plan for your early, mid, and late gameplay.

Early Game

Unlock your first skill and proceed to the Exp lane. To make the best out of your First skill, ensure to be closer to enemies somas to benefit from the double-impact punches. Use a combination of your furst skill and basic attacks to efficiently clear minion waves.

Utilize your Second skill as an initiate or engage skill especially when enemies are ganking your lane or invading the Jungle. While laning, you could also use your second skill to steal and easily secure the Exp crab. In the early game, focus on farming to level up and unlock your ultimate ability.

Mid Game

On unlocking his ultimate ability, Sora’s powerspike and versatility becomes dominant in the mid to late game phase. The Key to using Sora is perfect mastery over his different Forms, as knowing when to utilize each forms will make you really powerful on the battlefield. You should consider the following tips while playing Sora:

• Engage enemies with your First and Second Skill combo then use your Ultimate ability either by Sliding Left or Right to instantly ascend and Transform into a powerful new form.
• When you use your Ultimate ability and Ascend into a new form, your First and Second skill instantly refresh. So utilize that for a full-on offensive on enemies.
• On ascending into a new form, prioritize hitting enemies at least 5 times so as to quickly enable the ultimate of that form. Doing this will be crucial to dominating in the game.
• When facing multiple enemies at once, it is best to engage by Ascending into Torrent Form. This form provides lots of crowd control effects making it good for Initiating fights.
• If you’re aiming for the enemy’s backline or during 1v1 situation, Ascend into Thunder Form for maximum damage output and mobility.
• In the Thunder Form, ensure your skills hit enemies as this will really reduce the Form’s cooldown, to the extent of you being able to use your Ultimate ability twice in this form. Thus, maxing out your damage potential and offensive.

Late Game

Whether it’s controlling Objectives or peeling the enemy’s backlines, Sora can efficiently do both in the late game phase. So, you need to coordinate with your team to Flank or Gank overextending enemies, shutting them down.

Since team fights are very common in this phase, it is best that you shift into the Torrent Form for added control and Frontline. This will give your team’s ADC and Jungle enough time to burst down the enemy team.

So ensure to prioritize protecting your team’s main ADC for added advantage during the key engages in the late game. Coordinate with your Jungler to secure late-game objectives like the Lord, using your Thunder Form as a major damage source. While playing Sora, you can use this skill combo to get the best out of him in the Late game:

Skill 2 + Skill 1 + Ult + Skill 1 + Skill 2
