DJ Sona Speculation: Information For Those Hyped

Mellori··5 votes·1,126 views

Everyone's all in a hype (me included) over the new DJ Sona skin. When she came out, questions flooded the boards, and most of them haven't been answered. Me being a Sona main and extremely hyped for this skin, I've dived into every bit of information given, and here's what I've kinda gathered.

Disclaimer: Do note, this is speculation based on what I've read, and isn't guaranteed. Just gives some peace of mind and something to think about for everyone else who is hyped. Most of these are based off red posts and info on Surrender@20's site.

If you wanna know anything else, feel free to ask and I can see if I find more info on the topic. ^^

Everything confirmed will be in bold. Everything fully speculation will be in italic. Everything that's kinda confirmed and kinda speculation will be in plain text.

Release Date:

  • She will not be released in patch 5.3
  • She needs extended time in PBE for testing, however that doesn't mean for months.
  • She may be released in 5.4, considering patches run in almost 2-week cycles lately, and 5.3 is coming around Valentines Day.
  • Release in 5.4 means she'd be out around the end of February.

Sounds:

  • They aren't changing her voice from what's been released, as it's supposed to blend with the music.
  • Her songs change as the game goes on, much like the newest Rift music does.
  • Her music replaces the music of the mode you're playing.
  • Each song changes as she changes forms, and is progressed to where the other songs would be in her other forms; they don't start over after you change.

Pricing:

  • 30% sale upon release
  • 1-7 day sale
  • Cost placed slightly higher than price of Pulsefire Ezreal and Spirit Guard Udyr at their release, then bumped to ultimate skin price.
  • She will have some sort of sale upon release, price unconfirmed.

My honest speculation: I believe DJ Sona will be released sometime in 5.4, similar to how she is now with just the audio fixes they need to work on. I don't honestly believe they would have released her Promo page and gotten splash arts for her if she was not almost done. Any other skin takes about 2 weeks in PBE. DJ Sona will take at most 4, and she's already been there for nearly a week. Upon release, she'll most likely be at least 30%, putting her cost roughly $15 instead of the usual $25.

Edits: Added today's (2/6) S@20 post confirming she will have a sale. Fixed patch numbers. Added voice link.

Thanks! I've kinda been reading non-stop after she got announced. Figured I'd help out people who haven't seen as much of the info posted.

I played her on PBE yesterday :D

her RP price will be at 3250, if i remember right. For the Ultimate Skins there has always been a 4 day intro price. Ez was 50% reduced, Udyr was 40% reduced, i think. i cant wait to get her!

Lucky! I've applied for PBE but haven't gotten in yet. I wish I could play her. ;~;

im not sure how reliable people were when talking about applying for PBE but ive heard if you keep trying to apply it would let you in, but im not sure how often it would happen! ive had my PBE account since i first started playing league, but i would say try and give it a try!

Sarutobi1 votes

Im sure as long as testing goes smoothly she should be release at 5.4. i just hope people are actually testing her out on the PBE rather than playing her just because, but thats how the PBE usually is with new content. i know ill try to help as much as i can! as for the pricing, has it been confirm she will get a bigger discount than the last two? if i remember PFE was 50% on sale, so if its bigger than that maybe 55-60%? im not sure thats fair in the case of how much work and detailed that skin is going to be, but i guess they want a lot of people buying it!

The sale has been confirmed! A rioter (WizardCrab) tweeted it, and in turn, S@20 posted it in today's update.

The Tweet The S@20 Post

Edit: I misread what it said exactly (I'm tired, sorry. xD) And it only said that the skin itself is bigger, not that the sale is. I'd still imagine the sale is going to be significant, though.

Sarutobi1 votes

ya ive seen those but the way you put it in the post seems like she will get a bigger discount than the last two which is what i was asking for. i have some doubts theyll give it to us 50% off especially when SGU was i think 40& off at launch!

Mellori2 votes

In a way I think she will, considering how much hype they've got going for her, but then again that's also an excuse not to. I put 30-50 because of previous prices, and if we stayed at the trend, she'd be 30 (Ez at 50%, Udyr at 40%, then Sona at 30%.)

As I edited, I thought the tweet said she had a bigger sale, but I just misread what he had said. So, sorry about that!

Sarutobi2 votes

its all cool, but thanks for the useful information especially for people who are looking into the skin! as for the sale i would think it would be reasonable to have it at 30-40%.

Mellori1 votes

Thanks! And, they probably will set it around 30%. She does have a lot going on, so they probably won't drop it too low.

Ariaflux1 votes

Since they said "small", I think it's somewhere between 30% to 10%. You should edit the opening post to not give people false hopes.

Mellori1 votes

Well, these were my speculations. 50 to 10 is a large jump. I can say just a flat 30 percent, but I doubt they'd go so low as 10%.

Ariaflux1 votes

Yeah that's true, but I doubt it'll be >30% since 40% is in no way "small", and is an expected price so Riot would not mention anything if it's near that range. The way he said it made it sound like "the skin is good, so it'll have less discount than before", and by adding "small discount", I think it'll be probably be around 20%.

Mellori1 votes

Well 30% is still less than they've done before. Not to say it will be 30%, 30% is just the most I'm guessing they'll discount it.

so wait, if that trend continues, Ultimate skin #7 would be 10% MORE expensive on release?!? QQ

Mellori1 votes

LOL. I doubt it. They'll probably stay in the 50-30 range depending on how complex the skin is.

They aren't changing her voice, as it's supposed to blend with the music.

are they gonna give her new quotes and sthings to say and interation for example: she is a support she could have an interation while placing wards. or idk it's still in pbe i hope for more interactons and maybe an awesome DJ synthesized voice for each form.

Mellori1 votes

I meant they aren't changing it from this.

That link is what her new voice is, but many people don't like it because she makes little sense.

Sukishoo1 votes

Someone on twitter said RiotHippalus confirmed she will be 2800 RP at release... though I can't find an actual tweet or post of any kind from RiotHippalus about that.

Mellori1 votes

I'll see if I can find anything about it. ^^

Bumping.
