Runes

I think these are the runes who fit perfectly and im always playing with them. With this runes you have a perfect mix of Defense and Attack Potencial for the Laning Phase.

: Sona is a 'Poke'-Char. That means u have to try to damage the enemies as often as you can. Try to use the combo >, to lower your opponents health. This Marks are perfect for this, because they give you some nice Poke-Potencial Early Game.

: Surviving the early Laning Phase isn't often as easy as you think. In higher divisions, it can be really difficult. In those cases it's always great to be a little bit tankier. These Seals give you a lot of sustain to normal attacks.

: Who need's Magic Resist early, as long as you don't play vs , or . That' why u take the Scaling Magic Resist Glyphs, because they give more Magic Resist in Late Game.

: POKE POKE POKE POKE. I dont need to say more.

Masteries

Summoner Spells

: It is always useful to escape or to secure Kills. & is also a very nice combo to start a Teamfight with .

: If you have to play vs
, or other champs which massively heal the enemy ADC, be sure to pick it. It loweres the healing a lot.

: I you play vs Champs like , or , which are dealing huge DMG be sure to pick it, and to lower their damage.

Synergy

Sona is good with

You will have a very easy game in most cases. has high damage output with his and in combination with your heal and bonus AD, he can max out his full potential.

is also a good ADC on your site.
She has also a huge damage output and some cc. Try to poke as often as you can to harass your opponents.

is a great ADC. She has a great amount of Attack Damage and a really good CC with her . If you cast right after her stun is gone, you will kill your enemies really easy.

is also a great choice, as he is very squishy in early game, you can heal him back to full HP and he can poke enemies more with his . Be sure to poke your enemies as often as you can.

One of my favourite ADC's on my side is . He has great Mobility and a great damage output. Poke your enemies and in the right moment after level 6 pop out your to burst them down with him.

One of the most broken ADC's is . High Attack Damage, Much CC and a movement boost. Her deals huge damage, and she can switch between weapons. After level 6 harass your opponents as much as you can.

Sona is good against

is very bad against , because does not have any health sustaining abilities, so try to poke her down in lane. The damage from Pix can be avoided by standing amongst creeps to intercept the damage.

has a really bad time vs in most cases. Be sure you outsustain her and deny her from farming, to take her out of the game. Try not to stay near a wall, as Vayne's will stun you if it knocks you back against a wall.

is also good against , because can outsustain the enemy ADC more than . Be sure to dodge her bubbles.Nami's ultimate is very long, but it travels slowly. Try your best to get out of the way of the waves.

is extremely vulnerable, and has no escape abilities, that's why is good against him. Avoid clumping against a Twitch - his ultimate deals massive damage to targets in a line. Be sure to outsustain him, and deny him from farming.

Try to keep her passive down by doing short frequent pokes and harassments. is very vulnerable when she is channeling her ultimate, so pop out your when she activates her Ultimate.

The only thing you have to know when you play against a is: AVOID THE DAMN SPEARS. That's the only reason you can lose your lane vs her. Try to poke and outsustain her and you wont have a bad time.

Sona is bad against
