Introduction
SPACE |
Hi guys! Lomo here presenting you a guide on my favorite champion, The Maven of the Strings, ![]() Sona is an extremely squishy, poke oriented support champ who is capable of being an excellent lane bully with her Q ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Pros
|
+ Strong Poke + Lots of Healing + Auras benefits team + Game changing ultimate that is not difficult to land + Easy to learn (1 skillshot) |
Due to the nature of her kit, Sona is very good in small trades and skirmishes, doing large amounts of damage with ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Cons
|
- Squishy - Mana-reliant - Needs good positioning |
Sona has one of the lowest base health in the game which makes her easily bursted down when caught out. Without proper mana management, she will run dry very quickly. In addition her passive ![]() |
A commonly misunderstood and underutilised passive, ![]() |
Hymn of valor is a an instant cast tracking nuke that hits two enemies as well as giving all allies including you bonus magic damage on hit for one attack. This is your bread and butter skill for lane control. I usually use Q twice before I reach the lane as it allows me to give our jungler a strong leash or heavily nuke an enemy right at the start. Try and tag your ADC with the aura and coordinate pokes as this will maximise your lane dominance. An interesting tip when harassing with ![]() ![]() |
Your W is the shield to your Q's sword. When going for trades and expecting retaliation from the opposing duo, ![]() ![]() |
At lower levels your ![]() ![]() |
Your game changing ultimate, ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I run 3 ![]() |
9 ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I opt for 9 ![]() ![]() |
9 ![]() ![]() |
The masteries i have chosen are meant to maximise Sona's lane presence and sustain in the early game. This is a cunning/resolve tree with the
Windspeaker's Blessing
capstone.

In cunning, I take
![]() ![]() |
This tier is up to personal preference as you will not be using either benefit very often. I take
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
As Sona is not assassin, I take
![]() |
![]() |
To enhance Sona's role in teamfights,
![]() |
While Sona has good poke, I find that she cannot reliably hit the opposing laners 3 times in succession to make good use of
![]() ![]() |
Starting down the resolve tree, i take
![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
You do not get the 15% bonus resistances from your capstone therefore I favor
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Our last point will go into
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

When ahead, these items are excellent to push your early game lead. As a very cost-efficient item for most mages, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Defensive Items
![]() ![]() ![]() |
In almost all my games, I get a sheen item. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
