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 Milio

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his fireball

    Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.

  2. Back off when the campfire's up

    Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.

  3. Save a CC for after his R

    If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.

  4. Go for Milio first

    If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
