League of Legends: How supporter Sona plays

Sona is a supporter in League of Legends. In this guide to the way the champion plays, you get information about the item build, the rune side and the championships for virtuoso of the vocals and the instruments.

Supporter Sona on bot lane

Sona's skills are very well suited to optimally protect your AD carry on bot lane. Each of your three basic skills gives you passive skills. If you have activated three abilities, your next auto attack will have a special effect, depending on which passive aura is currently active. This is called a "power chord": Sona's Ultimate ability makes all enemies in the selected area incapable of action for 1.5 seconds. In the following we explain the skills in more detail and tell you when you should do what:

• "Hymn of Heroism": damages nearby enemies and grants your allies additional magic damage on their next attack due to the aura. Power Chord Bonus: 40% bonus damage on the next auto attack.
• "Aria of Persistence": The ally near the least HP is healed and all allies within the aura are given a small shield. Power Chord Bonus: Enemies deal 25% less damage for three seconds.
• "Song of Swiftness": Sona gains movement speed for 7 seconds and the aura gives allies more movement speed for 3 seconds. Power Chord Bonus: Enemy is slowed by 40% for two seconds.
• You should start with the "hymn of heroism", then skill the "aria of perseverance" and at level three the "song of agility".
• Then build up "Aria of Perseverance" and then "Hymn of Heroism". If you're ahead and need damage instead of healing, do the opposite.
• Skill your ultimate crescendo ability whenever possible (levels 6, 11 and 16).
• Crescendo: Enemies hit start to dance for 1.5 seconds and are unable to attack or move (stun).

Items for Sona

In another practical tip, we will tell you in detail the individual advantages and disadvantages of the items for Sona. You should buy the following items:

• Definitely start with "Dagger of the Magic Thief" and healing potions. The item grants you gold when attacking enemies or towers, as well as extra gold over time, mana regeneration, and ability power.
• As soon as you have regenerated 500 gold via the item and bought the upgrade, you will receive 3 to 4 wards. Then swap the "Defense Totem" for the "Lens of the Oracle" to reveal enemy wardens.
• Buy the boots "Eleisa's Wonder" or "Boots of Mobility".
• To strengthen yourself and your ADC, be sure to get "Glowing Censer" and "Redemption".
• Other possible items are "Athene's Unholy Grail", "Amulet of the Iron Solari" and "Curse of the Lich" if you are very far ahead.

The right runes and championships

Support-Sona's goal is to ensure the survival of the AD carry and, in the later course of the game, the survival of the entire team. Her runes are designed for that.

• Select the "Magic" primary path.
• Decide on the key rune "Benefee Summoning".
• As segments you level "mana flow", either "superiority" or "agility" and "heat wave".
• Take "inspiration" as the secondary path.
• Skill in this "Magic Footwear" and "Cosmic Insight".

This guide is designed to help you play Sona better. Of course, items and runes and championships can be replaced. Sona is very flexible: if you are in the back of the game, you can rely on healing and if you are far ahead there is also damage.
