Playstyle

Poke with Q (Hymn of Valor) to pressure the lane and stack Power Chord empowered autos. Protect and heal allies with W, chase move speed with E to win movement. R (Crescendo) for an AoE stun to open fights is her reason for being. Squishy, so positioning is everything.

Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Make use of Hymn of Valor's bonus ability power for empowering your next spell.
  • Save Crescendo for the game-altering moment.
  • Constantly switching between Song of Celerity and Aria of Perseverance will grant you maximum survivability.

Playing against

  • 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.
