Also, I could consider getting a Philosophical Stone for the good HP/mana regeneration + Gold/5 sec effect. I would get a mix of support items + AP items if I were you.

madanthony Wrote:3 Aura items, two of which are AP. I do not see any particular problem here. Especially for a lower level normal where I'd never want to rely on my teammates. That being said, Aegis and Philo Stone>Shurelya's are both good choices. Abyssal is a bit of an odd choice, especially since Teemo has one as well.

Kunagisa Wrote:I think I got Abyssal first actually, not sure. I don't remember seeing Teemo with it before.

But yeah, I was keeping Philo Stone in mind, I've used it on Sona before. Just still messing around with builds on her to see what sticks better for me as a core build.

Edit:


Philo stone really did make me rake in the cash and allow me to get my aura gear a lot earlier. Think I'll be using it in my core build for Sona. Having TF there to boost my income really made my pockets so heavy that I felt I had to go back to the base every few minutes to buy new stuff. In the end I didn't even know what the hell to buy anymore so just stuck with trying to get shield (even though by this point my team was fed enough that we didn't really need it).

WillDaSnail Wrote:- Your CS. I understand you have to do your support and stuff, but at least don't neglect last-hitting minions so much.

Dark Link Wrote:Actually, for being a support, that CS is rather high.

KajitiSouls Wrote:Is 1 too high?

Frankly, I think that CS is fine. People aren't going to be around to last-hit everything anyways >_>

SolicShooter Wrote:As a support you should be where your team is, not the other way around. Sona doesn't have any decent farming moves anyway and shouldn't waste mana on simple creeps. For a 30 minute game that's enough creeps. In higher elo games you'll see that they almost last hit every creep and your only job is to buy wards/oracle and let your carry get the kills/cs while every once in a while your gold item lets you buy an aura item or obviously boots.

Er, I like playing Sona caus I can just play chickenpomegranate the whole match and only poke my head out to shoot a power charged spell at someone. Aside from possible flashing to runaways to stun them, which is the only real risk I do when playing her.

Anyone possibly have tips? I'm mostly just learning as I go since reading through guides is too much of a chore for someone like me. I just figures sticking some items that buff my team on a character that's already buffing with her spells would do well, but I've no idea if I'm missing something like I thought last time getting frozen heart on Annie.

Oh god and yesterday was BS!! Right before my son went to bed (aka almost my time to play freely) I threw my fucking neck out.
God damn that made me feel old, so I decided to take some vicodin and ibuprofen and go to bed instead of playtime.

Low and behold I wake up with it just as bad if not worse than before I slept. DAMNIT. Not sure what to do.

Dark Link Wrote:Again with this? Have you seen the average CS for supports? It's around 15-25 at most. Rarely do they go to 30+, and even then it's mostly Alistar with that much CS. Just stack Philo, HoG, and maybe Kage, and they're pretty much set for the entirely of the match, which will allow their AD / AP carries to last-hit all they want to let them get their items as a much faster rate.

Derosis Wrote:Cant Stack Philo and HoG anymore.

Dark Link Wrote:Yeah you can.
The GP10 is UNIQUE PER ITEM, thus you can stack 1 Philo, 1 HoG, 1 Kage, 1 Avarice, and get 40g per 10.
The average GP10 stack was / is 2 for most cases, sometimes 3 if desperate, so just get 1 Philo and 1 HoG (and 1 Kage if desperate) and you're pretty much set.
