More Gameplay Tips for Sona Players

Tips and Tricks

Sona is an incredibly strong ranged support that can dramatically shift team fights. Make sure to group and tackle objectives when Sona's abilities are ready.

Try to catch as many enemy champions as possible with Crescendo. If you can get several enemies, your team can surely take them down during the stun duration.

Sona has great poke in lane. Comboing her Q and AA will allow you to deal decent damage from relative safety. Her self-heal helps reduce the impact of taking a few hits while poking.

Additional Sona Build Insights

League of Legends Sona players could find her to be a challenging champion to build out properly. You'll see that her build changes when she is playing against either well-rounded or specialized team compositions, meaning you shouldn't follow the same Sona build every single round of League of Legends

The most essential items to include in your champ's build include: Moonstone Renewer, Seraph's Embrace, and Ardent Censer. Those who added these items in their builds had a much higher winrate than players who used other builds for Sona. Similarly, if you are facing a mixed enemy team arrangement, you should strongly consider getting yourself the Sorcery, and Inspiration runes. In recent matches, she won the largest percentage of her matches when built with these runes.

We came up with our Sona build guidance by analyzing 55,928 recently ranked League games with her in them. We only propose the top winrate Sona builds that were built by ranked players enough times for us to advise them. With so many games in our dataset, we are quite confident in our recommended builds.
