Power Chord (Passive) EFFECT RADIUS: 400 COOLDOWN: 110 / 95 / 80 |
INNATE - MELODY: Sona's basic abilities each generate a unique aura for 3 seconds that empowers her and all targetable allied champions who enter its radius, and casting them places her other basic abilities that are not on cooldown on a 0.5-second cooldown. INNATE - POWER CHORD: After casting 3 basic abilities, Sona's next basic attack has an uncancelable windup (cannot get interrupted) , deals 20 − 240 (based on level) (+ 20% AP) bonus magic damage and applies an additional effect depending on the last basic ability cast. Gaining Power Chord's empowered attack resets Sona's basic attack timer. INNATE - ACCELERANDO: Sona gains a stack of Accelerando each time she hits an enemy with ![]() ![]() ![]() |

EARLY GAME
You might get amazed of how much information you are about to read below as most people think that






2) Enemy ADC is going back and forth and will move closer when a creep is critical HP for the last hit, try to time it and react, get closer to get that free Poke ( Auto and Q right after)! That way he is unable to poke you back since he goes for the creep.
3) Watch carefully enemy's position and cooldown, you dont wanna get picked from any Crowd control while you are trying to get in range for the poke (Example: Poke when

Don't forget that this tactic will get your

Moving on


Lets say your ADC is low HP but not that critical low. Avoid healing him! Sona's heal isn't that amazingly strong and the mana cost is insane (80 - lvl 1) but it is strong when combined with the Aura that provides Shield. The trick is to try and stay tagged to your ADC and use

The heal and shield provides pretty much the same numbers on all levels that are pretty weak early on in the game, so try to always combine.
Not going to talk about


2) Your game sense tells you that you are going to get ganked pretty soon and you don't have vision (while you actually should have placed a ward pre 3rd Level). Lane is also pushing towards them. Get that E on level 3!
Getting Level 6 you shall ask yourself if you are in position to win a fight as 2v2 with your



Always prioritize





During fights on a 2v2 you shall always use



If your jungler is coming for a gank while the enemies pushing towards your tower, you either use




Do I roam as [Sona]]? Simple answer is NO. You don't go for a Mid-Lane roam because you are risking yourself getting picked from enemy jungler while you are squishy and not with amazing CC skills to lock down the enemy Mid-laner. Plus immobile early game (your E isn't enough to run). Also, you wanna make sure you use your

While you stick with your ADC trying to give him an advantage the only small roam you can do is safely move around river when your jungler and/or mid-laner are there fighting or about to do something.
OUT OF LANE




When a teamfight starts your main focus on Skills is using your



What about

Here are some questions you shall ask yourself before using

1) Who is around me from my teammates? Do they also own a good CC to follow up? Do we have a high burst damage for the quick pick?
2) Do enemies have


3) Does enemy team have a fed and strong Assasin or Engager like



4) Can I just use my ultimate aggressively by using or not my

5) Do they have a channeling ultimate champions like



6) Does my team owns champions like



Sorry if all those questions annoy you, but trust me it does worth it!
