Sona's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Power Chord (P)

Accelerando: Sona gains non-Ultimate ability haste permanently for her basic abilities as she uses her abilities well, up to a cap. Beyond that cap, further successful uses reduce her ultimate's remaining cooldown instead.Power Chord: Every few spell casts, Sona's next attack will deal bonus magic damage in addition to an additional effect based on what basic Ability Sona last activated.

Playing as Yuumi

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Steer your Prowling Projectile

    While attached to an ally, steer Prowling Projectile (Q) with your mouse before it accelerates: once accelerated, it deals more damage and slows harder.

  2. Hit a champion to heal

    Hit a champion regularly, even with just a Prowling Projectile (Q): Feline Friendship (passive) then heals you, and then the next ally you attach to.

  3. Make an ally your Best Friend

    Stay attached to the same ally most of the time: Feline Friendship (passive) strengthens your bond with them, and your Best Friend empowers your spells while you're on them.

  4. Stay on your carry

    Attach to your carry with You and Me! (W): only towers can target you then, and Zoomies (E) gives them a shield, attack speed and mana.

  5. Steer your ult onto their group

    Cast Final Chapter (R) while attached to steer its waves: each wave that hits slows enemies more and heals your allies.

Playing against Sona

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't count on your minions

    Don't count on your minions against Hymn of Valor (Q): it hits the two nearest enemies, champions first.

  2. Back off after her spells

    Back off when she has cast several spells: Power Chord (passive) empowers her next auto, which damages, weakens or slows you.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies against her: Crescendo (R) stuns every enemy it hits, and it's her only stun.

  4. Target her first

    If you can engage, target Sona first: she has no dash, and without her, her team loses its heals and shields.
