League of Legends: support items for Sona

In League of Legends, Sona is one of the best support champions for the botlane. In addition to the masteries and runes, the choice of items is also crucial. Here you can find out which items you need to protect your AD carry perfectly and to be of great help in team fights.

League of Legends: Sona - early game

In the early game, you are responsible for ensuring that your AD carry can farm in peace and achieve a higher creep score than the opponent. If the opportunity arises, support your jungler or AD carry to kill enemy champions. Since Season 4, you have to choose from one of 3 trinkets at the beginning so that you have a clear view. With "Doran's Shield" you can endure more at the beginning.

• Trinket: Get the "defense totem" at the beginning. With this trinket you create a "camouflaged eye" that lasts for 60 seconds. If you bought "Sehender Stein", sell the "Abwehrtotem" and get the "Scouting Lens". With this item you uncover enemy eyes and destroy them. So you win the battle for sight.
• "Doran's shield": You should buy the shield as the first item. Then buy the "Ancient Coin" and expand it to the "Amulet of Ascension". This will give you gold when a Minion is killed near you. You also support the team with a speed boost.
• "Sighting Stone": So that you don't have to buy new "Sighting Eyes", you buy this item. With the "seeing stone" you can set 2 "seeing eyes" at the same time. As soon as you visit the shop, the stone automatically recharges and you have 5 eyes again. So that you can set 3 "Sighting Eyes" at the same time, you should expand the "Sighting Stone" to the "Sighting Ruby Stone".
• Other items that you should buy in the first few minutes are shoes such as the "Boots of Mobility" for high movement speed or "Mercury's Shoes" for increased magic resistance.

League of Legends: Sona - mid and late game

In the middle of the game, you are still responsible for protecting your AD Carry. However, if your mid-lane needs help, you can quickly help out there with Sona's "Song of Swiftness" and "Boots of Mobility". If the game slowly goes into the late game, in team fights you are responsible for ensuring that the person who caused the damage, i.e. the AD and AP carry, suffer as little damage as possible. Items like the "Amulet of the Iron Solari", which gives your allies a shield, will help you with this.

• "Amulet of the Iron Solari": You get the amulet for the "Aegis of the Legion" and 600 gold in the shop. It gives you and your allies an aura that grants increased magic resistance and life generation. You can also cast a shield on your allies that absorbs damage every 60 seconds.
• "Shurelya's Reverie": With this item you also support your teammates. The item grants you 330 lives and a 15 percent shorter cooldown. So you can conjure up your healing spell "Aria of Perseverance" more often. If you activate "Shurelya's Reverie", you and your allied champions nearby will also get increased walking speed.
• You buy other items depending on the situation or according to your own preferences - For example, the "twin shadows" for magic resistance and a slowdown, "Randuis Omen", so that your Sona is not killed in team fights, or "Zekes Herald", especially for your allied AD -Champions to support.
