Actually, I don't recommend Randuin on Sona. HoG is just an overall awesome item, that's why :P

@ Searz - I don't like Tear because it builds into nothing I want (Archangel's Staff). I'd rather have the mana regen items and for me they work fine. I am also considering Philo then HoG rather than 2 philo's.

About Randuins I am starting to like the idea more, but need to actually test it out for myself. I definitely would suggest Randuins over Zhonya's if you're having survivability issues. Maybe I should just put the core of mercs, shurelya's, soul shroud and then list them as situational items. Thoughts?

The Tear is just for the mana. If you don't have mana trouble; don't get a Tear.
Upgrade Tear last, I think.

I saw your new item sequence. I only can say... this is more perfect then it was! :)
I was missing Aegis of the Legion but now I think it can't be more perfect. I usually take Clarity instead of Flash so I don't have mana problems at the beginning or at the late game.

Best Sona guide here. Thanks! :)

Thank you! That means a lot to me. :)

In high elo play you pretty much NEED Flash if you don't have a reliable escape (and even if you do sometimes) because all of the ganking early game, and because people in ranked are a lot better at focusing the right target (usually XD).

Hi Mowen, thank you for this wonderful build. If you wanna go SONA this is the way to build her. I have only one suggestion. I usually start with mana manipulator, because i find that it helps both me and my laning partner with MP/5. Then i get philosopher's stone, boots and aegis of legion.

I'm very happy with this build. The philo/HoG combo is great for regen and early survivability, I turn the second charm into a manipulator soon after which really helps on mana issues.

Just bought sona - playing in solo queue and had great luck with her. 5/0/23 last game using this build :)

Really fun champ and well written guide.

Edit - how do I vote/have it show on my post?
