Battle Spell
Retribution: It is inevitable for Jungler.

How to Maximize Sora
Players can experience and learn Sora in Hero Training since his operation is relatively complex. Furthermore, you should take care of the synergies of skills: casting all regular skills beform using ultimate. Upon entering Thunder or Torrent stage, the skills are refreshed. To maximize Sora, you can learn following playstyles based on differente build and Battle Spells.
Play Sora as Jungler
Playing Sora as a jungler, you need to pay attention to that he can only generate Cloudstep by attacking enemies or summons. This playstyle relies on his Thunder Form, because only in that form can he stack Cloudstep quickly with skill rotation. In other words, before you unlock your ultimate, you are very easy to catch and kill in the jungle.
Early Game: Revolve around farm jungle creeps, level up and gain economy. Unlock ultimate ability as soon as possible.
Mid Game: Sora has powerful DPS in mid game. You should solo the enemies, find out the timing to catch the low-HP enemy or lurk the enemy. Make sure you have EX to deal with the enemy. Once your Ult ends, you become weaker and require running away. If you have an economy and level adavantage, you can try to kill single target in base form. During teamfights, you must observe battlefield and get close to the enemy backline to instantly eliminate opponents.
Late Game: Sora's burst damage is terrifying who can eliminate an enemies with a single combo. However, if the adversaries has also farmed, you need to seize the opportunity when the enemy is exposed, quickly beat him down, and retreat.
Play Sora as Tank
Sora as a tank is usually played in the Clash Lane. Building defensive equipment allows Sor to continuously execute crowd control, while his attack power is not low. This is also his mainstream playstyle. Therefore, this strategy leans more toward transforming into the Torrent form.
Early Game: Stably level up and accumulate economy. After unlocking Ultimate skill, attack the enemy and transform into Torrent form or Thunder Form according to the opponent's hero.
Mid Game: Participate in more teamfights and use your skills to constantly wear down the enemy. If the opportunity arises, transform into Torrent form, immobilize opponents, and allow your teammates to focus fire. Furthermore, step forward and suppress the enemy, since your HP is high enough, you don't need to fear being instantly eliminated.
Late Game: Defend your turret as Torrent form. The Torrent form can push enemies out of their or your turret's range, allowing teammates to concentrate their firepower (Drag the enemies together and throw the out of turret's range). Assault the enemies as Thunder Form. High-HP enables you to march on and finish enemies.
