Level up in this order when playing Rafaela:
Holy Healing
Divine Resurrection
Light of Retribution
An angel loved and respected by the people of this world.
Rafaela can cast a special skill every 40s. After channeling for 2.5s, she instantly resurrects an ally and increases their Movement Speed by 30% for 5s (taking damage from heroes and Legend Creeps interrupts channeling and puts the skill on base cooldown). This skill's cooldown is increased by 500% of the target's remaining respawn time, capped at 240s. This skill is not affected by Cooldown Reduction.
Rafaela strikes the three nearest enemies with Light of Retribution, dealing them 225 (+120% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage, briefly revealing their positions, and slowing them by 40% for 1.5s. Enemies hit by Light of Retribution again within 6s will take 20% extra damage (this effect stacks up to 3 times).
Rafaela calls upon Holy Light, recovering 100 (+35% Total Magic Power) HP for nearby allied heroes, plus an additional 150 (+65% Total Magic Power) HP for herself and the most injured allied hero in range. She also increases the Movement Speed of nearby allied heroes by 30% and grants Slow Immunity for 1s. Every 10 point(s) of Magic Power will add 1% to the Movement Speed bonus.
Rafaela unleashes the true power of Holy Light in the target direction, dealing 460 (+120% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies in a line and stunning them for 1.2s.

Demon Boots - Favor
Flask of the Oasis
Oracle
Dominance Ice
Athena's Shield
Ice Queen Wand
Demon Boots is used to give her mana regen. So she won't have to worry about her mana during teamfights. Use the healing option of roam boots. Flask of the Oasis is obligatory item in current meta for every healing support. Buy Oracle to counter anti-heal items and to gain hybrid defence. Buy Dominance Ice to implement anti-heal and attack speed reduction on your enemies. Buy Athena's Shield to avoid getting one-shotted by enemy mid laners or magic assassins. Use Ice Queen Wand to slow down enemies during teamfights, so landing your ultimate will be easier. When you combine: Healing roam boots+ Flask of Oasis + Oracle + Revitalize + 2nd skill , you can make your allies close to immortal. Flask of the Oasis, Oracle and Dominance Ice are her core items. Always and definitely buy Flask of the Oasis first, but you can swipe the places of Oracle and Dominance Ice depending on the game, (usually buying Oracle first is better). Last two items can change according to the enemies. If the opponent's have continuous magic damage heroes you can buy Radiant Armor instead of Athena's Shield. If they have physical burst, you can buy Antique Cuirass. You can also prefer Immortality or Winter Throne in the late game. By the way, your cooldown reaches up to +35% with this build, which is enough for her. Rafaela does not need to reach maximum cooldown of 45% like Faramis or Angela. Still,you can complete it to 40% with any defensive item that gives you cooldown reduction. You can do it to 45% with Enchanted Talisman. However, this item would be a slot waste for her for most of the time.
Revitalize · Large AOE Heal
Inspire
Tenacity
Focusing Mark
Understandable from the name, "Support Emblem" is the best choice for a support hero, and so for Rafaela. It increases her healing, movement speed and cooldown reduction. Inspire is chosen to support her cooldown reduction coming from the emblem itself.(10+5=15) Tenacity is preferred to ensure her safety . Because most of the time she needs to get closer to her opponents to poke and stun them. Focusing Mark is great for her since she is a support and it is so easy for her to activate it. Granting your allies +6% damage for 3 seconds is a crazy contribution.
Here are the most of the key points you need to know about Rafaela.

The emblem set a support needs. Understandable from the name, "Support Emblem" is the best choice for a support hero, and so for Rafaela.

Battle Spell. Revitalize spell will often help you and your teammates in critic situations. Sometimes her heal from 2nd skill won't be enough. At that time , revitalize can be a Real clutch to depend on. In addition, she can also cast it to tank more damage or rescue herself from danger. Depending on the games, vengeance and flicker may be other possible options.
