Sona’s abilities each have an active part when the button is pressed, as well as a passive part that affects Sona and her allies in the immediate vicinity.

Her “Anthem of Valor” (Q) throws up to two projectiles at enemies in a large radius. The target of these projectiles cannot be influenced with the mouse, but they always prioritize enemy champions who are within this radius.

The passive effect then boosts the next normal attack of each and every ally that affects their circle

Sona’s “Aria of Perseverance” (W) heals her and one ally. Here, too, you cannot influence the target in any particular way – the player or players who are missing the most life in percentage terms, i.e. whose life bar is “emptiest”, are always healed.

Sona and all the players around her then receive a shield. As the points here have the greatest impact throughout the game, this is the ability that is brought to level 5 first.

Her “Song of Agility” (E) is a simple increase in movement speed, both for Sona and for allies in the immediate vicinity.

The “Crescendo” (R), fires a small piano keyboard in front of you, which stuns all enemies in the area…and makes them dance.

Lastly, however, you need to address her “Power Chord” (P) – after using at least 3 of her basic abilities, her next normal attack will be boosted depending on which was the ability you used last. Here, the “Hymn of Valor” (Q) buff is merely more damage (more than any other), her “Aria of Perseverance” (W) briefly reduces the damage the target deals, and the “Song of Nimbleness” (E) greatly slows the target.

Sona also collects “Accelerando” for every hit from the “Hymn of Valor” (Q) on a champion and every successful heal from the “Aria of Perseverance” (W). When she reaches 120 Accelerando, she reduces the cooldown of her Crescendo (R) instead.
