Kit
Passive
⚪AURA: Sona's basic abilities each generate a unique aura for 3 seconds that empowers her and all allied champions who enter its radius, also incurring a 0.5 seconds period during which she cannot cast her other basic abilities.
⚪POWER CHORD: After casting 3 basic abilities, Sona's next basic attack deals 20 − 240 (based on level) (+ 20% AP) bonus magic damage, with an additional effect depending on the last basic ability cast:

Hymn of Valor:Power Chord deals 28 − 336 (based on level) (+ 28% AP) total magic damage
Aria of Perseverance: Power Chord reduces its target's size and damage output by 25% (+ 4% per 100 AP) for 3 seconds.
Song of Celerity: Power Chord slows its target by 40% (+ 4% per 100 AP) for 2 seconds

⚪Power Chord resets Sona's basic attack timer.

Hymn of valor

⚪ACTIVE: Sona sends out two bolts of sound that deal magic damage to the nearest enemies, prioritizing champions
⚪AURA: Sona and tagged allied champions deal bonus magic damage on their next basic attack within 3 seconds

Aria of perseverance

⚪ACTIVE: Sona heals herself and the most wounded nearby allied champion
⚪AURA: Sona and tagged allied champions receive a shield lasting up to 1.5 seconds.

⚪AURA: Tagged allied champions gain bonus movement speed for 3 seconds

Crescendo

⚪PASSIVE: Reduces the base cooldown of Sona's basic abilities.
Summoner spells
Flash

⚪Every champion needs a flash , especially low mobility champions like Sona

Exhaust

⚪Use Vs tankier champions in order to escape or just catch up and kill them

Ignite

⚪ Vs squishier champion or big healers like Soraka as ignite reduces incoming healing (instead of exhaust)
Runes
Primary path ( Sorcery)




Summon Aery

⚪This rune provides you with extra poke and also shields your allies for more when you heal/shield them

Manaflow Band

⚪Sona is very mana dependent so this rune should really make a difference

Transcendence

⚪Spam is Sona's second name , so the CDR this rune provides is going to be delightful

Gathering Storm

⚪This rune gives you a decent AP boost in the early game which scales into a massive one in the mid/late game



Secondary path ( Resolve)




Revitalize

⚪Gives a nice boost on your heals/shields which is doubled on low health targets

Conditioning

⚪The extra armor/MR boost will increase your tanking capabilities
