Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Sooo the cons already said it but I'll say it again - SonaSona relies on Mana heavily, and I mean REALLY heavily. When it comes to stackable items such as Archangel's StaffArchangel's Staff , its best to take Sapphire CrystalSapphire Crystal early to start stacking ASAP. It will also help you spam skills more often in lane since you'll have more Mana to work with.

Your core items should be a nice pair of Ionian Boots of LucidityIonian Boots of Lucidity tooped off with either Redeeming EnchantRedeeming Enchant or [locket enchant] depending on the situation. After that, continue with the three main support items. Take Ardent CenserArdent Censer if your adc relies on attack speed, Athene's Unholy GrailAthene's Unholy Grail if you need some extra MR, or Harmonic EchoHarmonic Echo if you have a lot of poke to heal. Whatever the order, all of these items should be in your inventory.

If late game has arrived and the audiance demends an encore, take Rabadon's DeathcapRabadon's Deathcap . The bonus ap will make all your buffs strong, since each and every one of SonaSona 's abilities [passive included] have AP scaling.

So why do we need each rune?

Font of LifeFont of Life will give your team extra sustain, and since SonaSona doesn't have to really aim, her skills are rather easy to hit.

BrutalBrutal is more ap for you. The reason why WeaknessWeakness is less better in my opinion is because only your ult and purple notes from your passive will trigger it. And during a teamfight, its important to use the green notes more.

LoyaltyLoyalty gives yourself and a teammate a tiny bit more defense.

Manaflow BandManaflow Band have more mana, which means more skill usage.

How to be a good musician

1. Remember that SonaSona creates an aura with each skill, from which your team gets special buffs. Stay near them 24/7! 

2. CrescendoCrescendo only lasts for 1 second, and is not exactly an ideal engage tool since its range is also quite short. So unless you and your whole team are hiding in a bush - Save it to shut down champions such as KatarinaKatarina during a teamfight! 

3. Your green note is the MOST important note of all! it reduces a champion's damage by at least 25%! Spam it on the enemy carry when your team is fighting!

4. Song Of CeleritySong Of Celerity not only boosts champions, but also minions. Help those little guys get to lane quicker to defend it!

5. Aria Of PerseveranceAria Of Perseverance has both shields and heals. Don't use it just like that. The key is to use it right before you or your adc is about to get hit. that way the shield will absorb the damage and the heal will keep you sustained. 

6. Make sure to stretch your fingers before a performance. You don't want them to get hurt :)
