Sona is a versatile enchanter support champion who combines simplicity with strategic depth, making her ideal for both beginners and experienced players.

Core Abilities

Passive - Power Chord: After casting 3 basic abilities, Sona's next auto attack deals bonus damage and applies an additional effect based on her last used ability:

• Q: Enhanced damage
• W: Damage reduction
• E: Strong slow

Basic Abilities:

• Q (Hymn of Valor): Launches two projectiles prioritizing enemy champions, empowering nearby allies' next auto attack
• W (Aria of Perseverance): Heals lowest-health allies and provides a shield to nearby teammates
• E (Song of Celerity): Grants movement speed to Sona and nearby allies
• R (Crescendo): Stuns enemies in a line and forces them to dance

Accelerando: Sona gains stacks from landing Q on champions and healing allies with W. At 120 stacks, reduces Crescendo's cooldown.

Skill Order Priority:

1. W (Aria of Perseverance)
2. Q (Hymn of Valor)
3. E (Song of Celerity)
4. R (Crescendo) at levels 6, 11, 16

Optimal Build Path

Starting Items:

• Spellthief's Edge
• 2 Health Potions

Core Items:

1. Shurelya's Battlesong (Mythic)
2. Ardent Censer
3. Staff of Flowing Water

Situational Items:

• Chemtech Putrifier (vs. healing)
• Redemption (for team-wide healing)
• Mikael's Blessing (vs. heavy CC)

Laning Strategy

Early Game:

• Poke safely with Q and Power Chord
• Conserve mana until you get mana items
• Focus on protecting ADC with W
• Use E to escape ganks or chase enemies

Mid-Late Game:

• Position behind frontline
• Rotate abilities to maximize Power Chord effects
• Save R for teamfight initiation or disengage
• Maintain vision control around objectives

Tips:

• Use Power Chord - W against burst damage dealers
• Coordinate E with team for engage/disengage
• Stack Accelerando efficiently for R cooldown reduction
• Time shields to block incoming damage rather than healing after
