Playing as Sona

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Choose your last spell

    Choose the spell you cast before Power Chord (passive): after Hymn of Valor (Q), the auto deals more damage, and after Aria of Perseverance (W), it weakens the target.

  2. Tag your allies with your aura

    After each spell, move close to your allies: your aura gives them a damage, shield or speed bonus depending on the spell.

  3. Build up Accelerando

    Hit champions with Hymn of Valor (Q) and shield allies with Aria of Perseverance (W): Power Chord (passive) gives you ability haste, then reduces the cooldown of Crescendo (R).

  4. Crescendo on several enemies

    Save Crescendo (R) for when several enemies are in front of you: it stuns them all and deals damage to them.

Playing against Ashe

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.

  2. Back off during her Focus

    Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.

  3. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.

  4. Dodge her long-range arrow

    Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
