Sora, the Shifting Cloud, is a fighter who plays in the Exp Lane.
Also known as Shifting Cloud
Lore
A pure and free-spirited boy with unshakeable resolve, drifting across the golden sands. Amidst the windswept sands of the Agelta Drylands, a boy named Sora drifts as freely as the flowing clouds. Pure and free-spirited, he wields in ever-shifting clouds—sometimes as thunderclouds crackling with fierce lightning, other times accumulating into thick cumulus clouds to shield against the desert's fury. Adventure calls to Sora like an alluring song, drawing him deep into uncharted desert ruins where he seeks out mysterious wonders. Yet the people know that when droughts loom and despair takes hold, he will come riding the winds, bearing the precious rains their parched lands crave. Now Sora continues his journey along the ancient Emerald Road, carrying rain-bearing clouds to every corner of the desert, and hope to every desperate tribe.

Counter / cooperate relationship
Sora excels at diving in with explosive burst damage and AOE CC, so squishy heroes without escape abilities—like Layla, Miya, and Hanabi—will find themselves helpless against Sora's relentless assault.
Sora relies on landing his 1st Skill to get Cloudstep stacks. Heroes with high mobility or Knockbacks, like Fanny, Arlott, and Valir, can prevent Sora from gaining this precious resource.
Best teammates
Official combos
In mid-to-late game teamfights, Sora is able to adapt to different situations. He can ascend to Thunder form to dive the enemy backline, or Torrent form to become a CC machine and take control of the battlefield.
When the opponent is focused on clearing Minions, poke them with Sora's 1st Skill, then use his 2nd Skill to create distance. Use the mobility from his 1st and 2nd Skill to effectively kite enemies. Sora's damage is reliant on hitting with his 1st Skill.
