Build Comparison
SpeedHealthAPMana
This Sona burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. Its 67.1% win rate comes from only 70 games, so treat it as an observation rather than a proven edge. The build's key strengths include devastating ability power scaling with 165 total AP. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Sona with this build can punish teams that stack armor. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Sona's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Sona vulnerable to burst damage and limited ability haste may result in longer cooldowns. This build's moderate gold investment allows Sona to spike earlier in the game. Prioritize completing Echoes of Helia, Moonstone Renewer, and Staff of Flowing Water to maximize your mid-game impact. For optimal results with this Sona build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
Strengths
- Devastating ability power scaling with 165 total AP
