Pretty in depth guide that covers almost everything I wanted to know about Sona.

This is the best Sona guide for me. My win rate is 8/10.

The guide is out of date. It includes items that have been removed from the game.

I only see EotW? They probably just skipped over it on their last update this is a pretty frequently updated guide so it'll probably get fixed. For the mostpart I think people will know the issue though since everything else is fine.

Eye of the watchers has been removed but not from the guide.

Its almost Christmas and no silent night sona skin yet :( . Great guide btw

Thank you for this great Sona support guide and I think it works for me. Good JOB Moon~

Looking at pro build all of them run archangel rather than roa, then lich bane. Thoughts?

A big problem that i have with archangel's is the price difference. RoA currently costs 2600, compared to archangels costing 3200, which is a rather large amount of gold for a support to have to get in a short enough time for it to be effective. This is why i normally go RoA, because i can consistently get it at the 11 - 13 minute mark, where archangels you normally get at the 16 - 17 minute mark. Probuilds shows that players run archangels over roa because they played sona adc, back when sona taric was a thing, and sona had the freedom to farm. As a support, you should not be farming, but only poking with your q and auto attacks, so gold is harder to get.

tldr; its more expensive and slower to build than roa because youre the support, not the adc.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, my plat 4 support friend kinda said the same thing with a lot more f bombs lol, i think i might stick with utility while I learn the game better

Thanks for this guide! I tried out the build and it worked for me.

There's a lot of work and effort put into this, I could tell while reading it.

Definitely deserves the first spot! keep it up :)

I sometimes find it difficult to complete ROA soon. I feel like I am giving up a lot building this before Lich Bane. How soon do you think you have to complete ROA in this build to be worth it?

(14) |

The average time for me to complete is about 11-13 minutes, but it allows for you to build lich bane while it scales. So when you complete lich bane, roa will have probably 7 stacks, which gives you a huge power spike.

Hope this helps,

Wow that's quick for ROA. For me it's been a few minutes slower than that. I definitely see it being useful getting it that quick.

Sona is based around poking, which is going to be your main source of gold income through /. Which means that the more you poke the enemy laner, the more gold you get, therefore a faster RoA.

Hope this helps,\

Incredibly well done guide!

You researched a lot about to make this guide, this is one of (if not the most) important things to have in a guide.

Keep this guide up to date, it's already (at least for me) one of the top guides!
See ya!

Probably should be noted that you can't equip ancient coin line and the spelltheif's edge line at the same time.
