I'm a mastery 6 (almost 7!) Sona main and I really want DJ Sona, but I know there's almost no way I'll be able to get $25 worth of RP to buy this skin. does it ever go on sale, or is it always that astronomical price? It's kinda upsetting knowing I'll probably never have my favorite skin in the game, and even more so since I play Sona most of the time...
GreenLore6 votesThe current ultimate skins were on sale upon release(at least udyrs and Sonas,not sure about ezreals),but they will never get on sale ever again(unless riot changes their mind about that).
Future ultimate skins will go on sale once,4-6 months after their release,where you'll be able to buy them for 2450 rp
Deep Terror Nami2 votesThey won't go on the monthly sales, but they do go on the Early Sale once, 4-6 months after release.
LostFr0st2 votesNope, Ultimates never go on sale. You can however get them through hextech crafting, so if you're lucky you could get her in one of your free boxes if you keep diligently getting them. (do group queue box hunts once a month if you have to and exchange S rank ability with other people so they get their boxes too).
Saewin2 votesThanks for the answer. I've been trying to get good skins via Hextech for ages, but the only ones I actually wanted that I've gotten so far were Goalkeeper Blitzcrank and Barbecue Leona. Oh well. With my birthday coming up soon, there's the odd chance one of my friends will gift it to me, but I kinda doubt it tbh...
GaleWinUnleashed2 votesOnce only, for a short time after release. Each successive Ultimate skin so far has had a smaller and smaller initial discount, so future ones may not be discounted at all.
So it's either 25 bucks, get lucky with Hextech crafting, or go without.
(it's worth it =P)
NiamhNyx2 votesDJ Sona is a good skin, its worth the $25 in my opinion because its pretty much 3 skins in one that come with their own music, that you can swap in the middle of a match.
Ohh and a quick tip for you (Ive been a Sona main for years now) Dont just always go for that lichbane, yes that makes sona's poke hellish to deal with, but she is to easy to kill. In ARAM and Featured modes though, lichbane them all to death :3
Saewin1 votesbut I'm a junior in High School with no job or other source of income, $25 is like a month's worth of saving from odd jobs xD
Thanks for the advice though, I'll be sure to keep it in mind! I always built Lich for a long time until my brother (Plat 5) told me to build Ardent Censer when me or my ADC is dying too easily. it has helped me improve a lot ;)

Ardent is a blessing, 5 man attack speed boost if you shield all your allies >.< sona is the only one who can do that with a low cooldown, karma has to wait for mantra to be off cd.

Sukishoo1 votesThe first 3 ultimate skins will never go on sale again. They were on sale for a short time after their releases, but since then Riot has changed the system and allows all future skins after the Legendary skin Dragon Trainer Tristana to go on sale. So the next Ultimate and so on will be on sale after 4-6 months of release.
Hopeslayer1 votesi got DJ Sona on this account (already owned it), and Spirit Guard Udyr on another, through FREE hextech chests (S masteries + key fragments)
