Pretty standard on almost all champions. Due to Sona being so fragile. Armor in a duo bot lane against another AD carry is very important.

Same reasoning as above

Just for extra resistance against the damage in late game. When you face against other AP champions.

Compared to the rest of the team, supports probably get the least amount of gold out of all. These runes will help you keep up with your teammates so that you can buy your items too.

Starting Items








Will Work on This later. For now there are notes in the items sets above. This section takes a really long time to type out and design














This is my standard ability sequence when playing Sona. Max Q for the extra poke and damage. Another path for abilities is maxing Sona's W first. Do this if you are getting poked down a lot and need a way of sustaining in lane. Also, if you feel that you are getting a gank early or are going to be ganked early. Take a point in E early so that you can both, help your jungler gank and escape ganks easier from an enemy.
With Sona, you have to analyze whether you are going to play aggressive or passive. This is one reason why Sona is such a good support. Because she can be aggressive if your team is ahead. While on the flip side, if your team is behind she can help her team sit back and farm, while supplying sustain to stay in lane. If you are playing aggressive, max your Q and poke with your
Hymn of Valor,
Power Chord combo. If done correctly, can bring enemy champions down an entire 1/4 health. On the other hand, you teammate in bottom lane wants to just sit back in farm, you might want to max you W fist and try to prevent as much damage as possible to be applied to both you and your carry. Watch your mana and try not to spam spells until you build your tear. Coordinate with your jungler and don't forget. WARD.


In team fights, you want to pretty much spam all your abilities when they are up. But be sure to keep track of your
Power Chord so you can use the correct one. Save your ultimate for a good time and always protect your carry with and defensive items you got. A mindset I like to take when playing support is to treat your carry as a child. (Remember, your carry doesn't have to be your AD. Your AD might be having a horrific game. Your carry is the one who applies the most damage on your team.) You will do anything to keep them alive, with our getting yourself absolutely desolated in the beginning. Block Lee Sin's
Sonic Wave and proc your
Seraph's Embrace. With these tactics, it will be hard to beat your team in team fights.



Sona works well with almost any AD carry due to her versatility. However, some of the best combo's include her along with
Miss Fortune due to their AoE ultimates. Essentially all you do is
Crescendo and Miss Fortune uses her
Bullet Time. This is almost always a guaranteed kill unless summoners or many costly abilities are used.



Sona is countered by champions that can do isolate her on her own. This because Sona is very squishy and once alone, cannot escape and/or do much damage. Some champions that do this are
Thresh and
Blitzcrank. Try to avoid their skillshots as much as possible. Other counters to Sona are ones that are ridiculously tank (e.g.
Leona) or supports that have a lot of sustain so that your poke is healed up (e.g.
Soraka).




Thank you for reading my Sona Guide. I know that it is probably pretty bad, the fact that it is my first guide that I have made on MobaFire. But please don't hate. Please check out my guides in the future. I will be making other support guides and possibly guides of other champions that I love playing. That is all for now. Bai!
