Star Guardian Sona is a stunning skin that brings a celestial touch to the enchanting melodies of the maven of the strings. Released on September 7, 2017, this skin is part of the Star Guardian skin line, which features a group of magical girls who protect the universe from evil forces. Sona, the mute musician, joins the ranks of these powerful guardians, donning a beautiful and ethereal outfit that perfectly complements her musical prowess.
The Star Guardian Sona skin transforms her into a radiant and otherworldly being. Her traditional instrument, the etwahl, is now a magical staff adorned with stars and a crescent moon. Sona herself is dressed in a flowing white gown with golden accents, reminiscent of a celestial being. Her hair is adorned with star-shaped hairpins, and her eyes glow with a soft, celestial light. The skin also features new spell effects, animations, and sound effects, all designed to immerse players in the enchanting world of the Star Guardians.
As a champion, Sona is known for her ability to provide utility and support to her team through her music. She is a versatile support champion who excels at healing, buffing, and crowd control. Sona's passive ability, Power Chord, allows her basic attacks to deal bonus damage and apply additional effects based on her last ability cast. Her Q ability, Hymn of Valor, sends out a wave of sound that damages enemies and empowers her next basic attack. Her W ability, Aria of Perseverance, heals herself and a nearby ally while granting them a temporary shield. Sona's E ability, Song of Celerity, grants bonus movement speed to herself and nearby allies. Finally, her ultimate ability, Crescendo, unleashes a powerful wave of sound that stuns enemies in a large area.
In the lore of League of Legends, Sona is a mute musician from the mystical land of Ionia. She was found as an infant by a Demacian couple who raised her as their own. Despite her inability to speak, Sona discovered her musical talent at a young age and became a prodigy on the etwahl. Her music has the power to soothe, heal, and inspire, making her an invaluable asset to any team. Sona's journey led her to join the League of Legends, where she uses her music to aid her allies and protect the innocent.
In the game, Sona is primarily played as a support champion in the bottom lane alongside an AD carry. Her ability to heal, provide crowd control, and enhance her team's damage makes her a valuable asset in team fights. Sona's strengths lie in her ability to sustain her team through healing and shielding, as well as her ability to engage or disengage fights with her ultimate ability. However, Sona is relatively squishy and lacks mobility, making her vulnerable to assassins and champions with high burst damage.
On this page, you can find information and videos about all of Sona's appearances in the game, including her base skin and other alternate skins. Whether you prefer the celestial beauty of Star Guardian Sona or the elegance of her classic skin, Sona's musical talents and support abilities make her a valuable addition to any team.
Lore:
Sona is Demacia's foremost virtuoso of the stringed etwahl, speaking only through her graceful chords and vibrant arias. This genteel manner has endeared her to the highborn, though others suspect her spellbinding melodies to actually emanate magic—a Demacian taboo. Silent to outsiders but somehow understood by close companions, Sona plucks her harmonies not only to soothe injured allies, but also to strike down unsuspecting enemies.
Ally tips:
Make sure to tag your allies while Sona's auras are active, but avoid getting caught out by enemies. Save Crescendo for the game-altering moment. Well-timed uses of Aria of Perseverance will grant you maximum survivability.
Enemy tips:
Spread out when you see Sona so she can't make your entire team dance.Kill Sona first, as she will heal up her team if left alone for too long.
