Start with item 3303item 1004 and an imaginary http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff517/ryik7/mana%20potion_zpslehukg9p.png

During laning phase always aim to hit both opponents with your Q. This is the troo secrit to pro Soner playsss.

Then get these: item 3020item 2301item 3100item 3174item 3089

If the game miraculously manages to reach the 40 minute mark, take one of these: item 3157item 3285item 3135 or whatever, you probably won't even finish it.

Alternate options: item 3070item 3070item 3070item 3070item 3070item 3070

See, I was making the mistake of building Sona wrong. 150% mana regeneration just isn't enough for her. My eyes are open now. I feel so silly for not realizing maximum cdr and ~60 mp5 is what Sona needs to make her rework less awful.

So before you Sonar weiners complin abut how she's complet trash, how she has the most inefficient cost to heal ratio, how she has the least cc of just about all supports and how she has some of the lowest base stats in the game, a kit that demands extreme proximity to danger and how you need to cross your fingers and hope nothing focuses you, rememnber thit yu could alwis just bild MORE mananas.

I don't take any mana regen runes or masteries on her I still manage to never run out of mana

Sona is damn good now since lane bullies are meta as fuck and I have fallen in love with the new frost queens claim

That build is actually 250% mana regen plus the mana font passive, which imo is a bit overkill.

item 2301 item 3100 is enough mana and mana regen on items for me tbh.

My build is: item 2301 item 3158 item 3041 item 3100 item 3094 item 3285 with 3 quints of scaling cdr.

Or if you're behind or want to be slightly bulkier: item 2301 item 3009 item 3222 item 3190 item 3050 item 3065 windspeakrs synergizes really well with these items, though your damage will be pretty nonexistent.

I have ALWAYS build Athene's on all of my supports though, so Sona never bothered me.

I have never felt so powerful as Sona during this patch, actually. I have mana problems with just the dagger, but once I get frost fang I really don't have any mana problems.

And I am healing more. Windspeaker's Blessing is incredible. I am loving sustain supports this patch.

You get 100% mana regen with only 500 gold. Most ap mid lanes don't get that until they finish a item. Also we don't have to use our abilitys to farm.

To anyone wondering, I am partially serious here. I have never enjoyed Sona like I have building two mana items. I still think the rework isn't good, and having to build two mana items is ridiculous, but now she's some semblance of playable in my eyes as opposed to before.
