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 Seraphine

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her Beat Drop

    Dodge Beat Drop (E), especially if you're already slowed: it roots a slowed target and stuns an immobilized one.

  2. Back off before her third spell

    Count her basic spells and back off before the third: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, whether it damages, slows or shields.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies against Encore (R): each champion hit extends its range, and a charmed ally near you lets it reach you.

  4. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Seraphine: her kit has no dash to escape.
