Why this duo works

Soraka mains specifically call out Cataclysm plus Equinox: Jarvan's arena can keep a target inside Soraka's silence zone long enough for its root to trigger.

Playing the duo

Cataclysm(R) creates a bounded area around a target, while Equinox(E) silences enemies in a zone and roots those who remain until it expires.

How to play as Jarvan IV

After Cataclysm lands, signal Soraka to place Equinox over the trapped target so its silence can turn into a root before they leave the arena.

How to play as Soraka

Place Equinox over the target as Jarvan closes with Cataclysm; the arena gives your silence and delayed root time to hold them for his follow-up.
