Support / Enchanter
Beginner Rule
Punish Sona early — she's much weaker before gaining levels and support items.
Sona is an enchanter support who excels at scaling and team-wide utility. She wants to survive lane and gradually provide stronger healing, shielding, and buffs as the game progresses. Many beginners underestimate how impactful Sona becomes in longer games.
Level 6 – Crescendo (R) adds strong crowd control.
First Support Item – Healing and utility improve significantly.
Late Game – Exceptional team-wide support and scaling.
