Mobile Legends Sora: Hero Overview

Sora, the newest hero joining the game, is a versatile fighter and assassin. We’ve been testing his skills on the advanced server and will share a detailed breakdown of what we’ve found.

Abilities

Passive: Mystic Surge

Sora builds up a buff called Cloudstep whenever he damages an enemy champion or their minions. Each stack lasts for 6 seconds. Once he has 5 stacks, he can use his Ultimate ability to transform into either Thunder or Torrent. Collecting 5 more stacks after transforming unlocks his powerful True Art ability.

Thunder: Converts extra HP into 10% Physical Attack, adopting an assassin style.
Torrent: Converts each point of bonus Attack into 10 Max HP, adopting a tank style.

First Skill: Sundering Strikes

Sora attacks twice, inflicting physical damage with each hit. He then lunges forward for another physical attack, with the damage based on his maximum health. After each attack, he can quickly dash forward.

On ascending into Thunder, this ability becomes Sundering Strike: Thunderflash – Sora strikes four times, dealing Physical Damage, then lunges forward, dealing extra Physical Damage. He can move freely during this skill
On ascending into Torrent, this ability becomes Sundering Strike: Overwhelm – Sora strikes twice, dealing Physical Damage and slowing enemies by 40%. He then lunges forward, dealing extra Physical Damage and stunning enemies for 0.55 seconds.

Second Skill: Windstride

Sora dashes forward, inflicting physical damage to enemies. If he hits an enemy hero or reaches the end of his dash, he slams the ground, dealing even more physical damage and slowing enemies by 40% for 0.55 seconds. Hitting an enemy hero also shortens the ability’s cooldown by 2 seconds.

On ascending into Thunder, this ability becomes Windstrike: Thunder Rush – Sora leaps forward, dealing Physical Damage, then summons a thunderstorm that hits enemies, dealing Physical Damage and slowing them by 50% for 0.5s. Hitting a hero reduces the cooldown by 2 seconds.
On ascending into Torrent, this ability becomes Windstrike: Skyfall – Sora leaps forward, dealing Physical Damage and knocking enemies back to the landing point. He then smashes the ground, dealing Physical Damage and knocking enemies airborne for 0.5s. Hitting a hero reduces the cooldown by 2s.

Third Skill – Shifting Skies

Swipe left to launch into Thunder for 10 seconds, gaining a quick movement speed boost and becoming untargetable. This also deals 250 (+80% of your Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies. Swipe right to ascend into Torrent for 10 seconds, pulling enemies close and dealing 250 (+8% of your Maximum Health) Physical Damage.

On ascending into Thunder, this ability becomes Heaven’s Wrath – Sora leaps into the air and strikes a target area 15 times, dealing 50(+30% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage with each hit. Sora can move freely during this skill.
On ascending into Torrent, this ability becomes Stormbind – Sora leaps into the air and strikes a target area 10 times, dealing 50 (+2% Total HP) Physical Damage and slowing enemies by 10% for 1s (up to 80%) with each hit. Sora can move freely during this skill

Mobile Legends Sora: Skill Analysis and Hero Overview

Okay, so I’ve been checking out Sora, and honestly, he’s a really solid fighter. He’s got a ton of different combos you can pull off, which is awesome because they cover pretty much everything – he can keep himself alive (sustain), control enemies (CC), do a lot of damage, and move around the map quickly. What’s really crazy is how fast his abilities recharge! Plus, he constantly activates his passive, which makes him a beast in team fights. Let’s dive into exactly what Sora’s skills can do.

Sora’s unique ability is central to how he’s played. He can change forms by hitting enemy heroes five times. Importantly, this ability only works on heroes – it won’t activate when hitting creeps, minions, or jungle monsters.

To effectively use Sora’s special abilities, it’s important to consistently attack enemy heroes. His first skill is his primary way to deal damage, allowing him to safely harass opponents, and its final hit reaches further. This skill becomes even stronger when Sora activates his Ascend mode.

Sora has different forms that change how he attacks. His Thunder form boosts damage, while his Torrent form deals damage based on how much health he has, and also briefly slows enemies. His fast movement and strong attacks from his second skill make it easier to catch and defeat enemies that try to run or aren’t very mobile. His ultimate ability is complex, as it has three different options to choose from.

Sora’s ultimate ability lets him transform into different forms depending on how you activate it. Swiping left on the ultimate icon turns him into a fast, assassin-type character, while swiping right makes him a durable, tank-like character. It’s best to choose the form that suits the current situation.

How could Sora hold up against the current meta

Sora is a strong fighter who can quickly inflict a lot of damage. He’s already challenging in a normal fight, but his ultimate ability makes him a truly formidable opponent on the battlefield.

Despite his strength, this hero needs to land a lot of attacks to reach his full potential. He’s best suited for either the Jungle or Experience Lane roles in the current game environment, switching between them depending on the situation.

When will Sora release in the MLBB Original Server

Sora is now available for testing on the advanced server, and is expected to be officially released around December 2025.
