## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Gatotkaca](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/gatotkaca.md), [Tigreal](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/tigreal.md), [Minotaur](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/minotaur.md)

Sora's transformed Ultimate deals considerable damage, and pairing him with Tigreal, Minotaur, Gatotkaca, and other strong CC heroes will maximize Sora's damage potential.

**Strong against**: [Layla](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/layla.md), [Miya](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/miya.md), [Hanabi](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/hanabi.md)

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.

**Weak against**: [Valir](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/valir.md), [Fanny](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/fanny.md), [Arlott](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/arlott.md)

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.
