Hey Yasutsuna,
I found your guide today because I'm considering to pick up Sona into my Support Champion Pool again and check out where she's at. So maybe just let me ask straight away: What do you think - where's Sona in a support ranking of the typical ones?
Things I'd like to note down because they caught my eye: I love that you have pictures of Sona on your guide, it's making such a big difference compared to other guides that lack those. Really nice!
But maybe you could add some more traditional champs to your matchup/counter section like Lux, Rakan, Nami, Lulu ...
But you really put a lot of effort into this guide and it's amazing. Well done.

just out of curiosity, why are you bronze?

Was Plat 1? back in SEA, but that was three years ago. When I came to OCE, got really tired of climbing and hardly play ranked. Do still play norms so have a fair idea of whats still going on.

what do you think about taking resolve secondary (revitalize + font of life) for making Sona's heals and shields stronger?
1
Yasutsuna (9) | July 3, 2018 7:11pm
Was testing out things to see if it works. I find that Font of Life is a bit meh for Sona, since her only stun is her ultimate and her Power Chord E, which is somewhat useless in teamfights.

While Revitalize is good, the problem is that it doesn't offer as much as the other runes. Cosmic Insight gives you much more. Furthermore, you'll most likely be building a lot of items with +% heal and shield bonus anyway.

But, if you're against a harder lane, you could opt for Revitalize + Chrysalis since it gives you a bit of survival early on which can scale later on.

Hi, I really like your guide, especially AP Sona, as she has been my support main for quite sometime. :)

I have found it helpful to build Tear of the Goddess as my first back, as it synergies well with the Manaflow Band and I have almost no time to recall back to base unless I have too much gold on me. Basically, Sona's mana issues are nullified. :)

So I want to know your view on it, if it is viable to get Tear of the Goddess and later upgrading it into an Archangel's Staff followed by a Seraph's Embrace (for a total of 3200 Gold) ??? / (but not as a first main item), or are there other items with better potential ?

Thank you in advance.

Yasutsuna (9) | June 28, 2018 11:36pm
Honestly, I find that getting Tear of the Goddess is redundant as the fully stacked Manaflow Band as well as the mana regeneration from the support items or the Chalice is enough to keep your mana up, as long as you don't needlessly spam it.

As far as Seraph's Embrace go, it's an alright item, but you need to remember that its somewhat useless until you upgrade it. The gold you spent can normally get you better items, so unless you have a lot of gold for some reason, it's normally better to get something else.

Hi, as much as I like your guide and explanation as what you prefer between absolute focus and transcendence, but I am surprised you've not considered the celerity in the build? just curious to why that is really. Also what do you think of the new changes to the resolve tree? I personally like the bone plating and the chrysalis in tank match ups but what do you prefer better?
1
Yasutsuna (9) | May 10, 2018 4:44am
I'm currently still working on the Celerity build although it doesn't seem very promising at this point. Currently, the one I'm working on involves a Tear where you can near permanent upkeep of Song of Celerity but still is a bit sketchy atm.

On the Resolve Tree, if I'm going for it, would go for Revitalise and Chrysalis. Bone plating requires you to get some form of HP for it to be useful otherwise you would still explode too fast. However, the Inspiration tree is currently really good as a secondary with the magical footwear and 5% CDR. Resolve isn't bad per se, it just gets outclassed by Inspiration at the moment.

i still really like the guide since i have said something in this guide but a long time ago but i was wondering if you are gonna add a Song of Celerity version which ik sounds a bit stupid but just use celerity and full movement speed and i think it'd be another good addition to this already awesome guide but for Blue Sona i see it's not completely full damage? i understand if that's how you want the guide to be but i could give you some ideas of how to make blue sona better that's all

love shado~ <3

Yasutsuna (9) | May 3, 2018 10:32pm
Now that you mention it. I'm going to try out the Song of Celerity version and will get back to you.

Yes, Blue is not meant to be full damage version since the utility you provide will still be better. Also, this is due to Sona not having the best AP Scaling. Always interested to see another point of view so I'm fair game.

shadowolfgirl (23) | May 8, 2018 3:14pm
trust me when i say this, poor scaling or not you can still do an absolute **** ton of damage with just Lich Bane alone so i understand still having the ability to still support but with blue it's really fun to just go straight up full damage

Obrigado pelo guia amigo, gosto muito da sona acredito que ela faz parte dos suportes que tem o kit de habilidade completo, além de ter muito dano ela consegue manter o adc vivo. Porém tenho algumas duvidas referentes a ela espero que você posso me esclarece-las. Sona é um suporte pra quais elos? vale a pena ser main sona? porque não colocar runas focadas em poder de habilidade e penetração magica?quais os outros suportes que desempenham o trabalho dela? com quem ela é forte e contra quem ela é fraca?

Traduzido do Google Translate porque não falo português.

1. Não compreendo as perguntas.

2. Depende, se você fosse apenas jogar um campeão de apoio, Blitzcrank ou Thresh seria melhor. Caso contrário, ela é uma boa adição para adicionar ao seu arsenal. Ela é um desses tipos que você não consegue ficar bem e exige algum esforço para se dar bem.

3. Estou assumindo que você está falando sobre selos e glifos. Isso é porque você não pode esperar que os inimigos não lidem. Se você não está na pista da morte ou está voltando para a base, você não é capaz de pressionar a pista do inimigo e permitir-lhes abusar do seu ADC. Não tendo estatísticas defensivas em uma aposta, você provavelmente perderá, especialmente se os elos mais altos que o punirem por seus erros.

4. O Google traduziu esta parte errada, mas eu suponho que você está perguntando o que outras funções de suporte funcionam da mesma forma que ela. Em termos de cura, Soraka é provavelmente melhor enquanto Lulu tem um melhor impulso, uma vez que também tem muita utilidade para se recuperar.

5. Com certeza eu expliquei que ela é forte contra os campeões de gama baixa, a quem sua gama pode abusar. Ela é fraca contra os campeões que têm toneladas de CC, mas a maioria dessas fraquezas pode ser facilmente negada por ter boas habilidades mecânicas para esquivar seu CC primário.



Translated from Google Translate since I don't speak Portuguese.

1. Don't really understand the questions.

2. Depends, if you were to only play one support champion, Blitzcrank or Thresh would be better. Otherwise, she's a good addition to add to your arsenal. She's one of those type that you can't get good and require some effort to get good at.

3. I'm assuming you're talking about Seals and Glyphs. This is because you can't expect enemies to not fight back. If you're not in lane from death or going back to base, you aren't able to put pressure on the enemy bot lane and allow them to abuse your ADC. Having no defensive stats in a gamble you will most likely lose, especially if higher elos who punish you for your mistakes.

4. Google translate translated this part wrong but I'm assuming you're asking what other support functions the same as her. In terms of heals, Soraka is probably better while Lulu have a better poke since she also have a lot of utility to back herself up.

5. Pretty sure I explained she's strong against lower range champions whom her range can abuse. She's weak against champions who have tons of CC, but most of these weaknesses can be easily negated by having good mechanic skills to dodge their primary CC.

Obrigado amigo, ganhou um fã! Percebo que você tem muita experiencia no jogo, o jeito que você fala transmiti isso. Mais uma vez excelente guia, obrigado por responder minha pergunta agradeço de coração, não precisava traduzir pro português deixava que eu mesmo fazia isso ( muito atencioso da sua parte obrigado novamente :D ). Tudo que eu perguntei e todas as minhas duvidas você conseguiu esclarece-las, tanto no guia como na resposta você fala de uma forma simples e de fácil aprendizado. Obrigado amigo (deve ser o 100º obrigado) graças as suas dicas farei a minha md10 mais relaxado! Ultima pergunta: Pegando o jeito com a Sona, a Janna fica fácil de aprender também? ou são mecânicas diferentes?
