HYMN OF VALORARIA OF PERSEVERANCESONG OF CELERITYCRESCENDO
Sona is Demacia's foremost virtuoso of the stringed etwahl, speaking only through her graceful chords and vibrant arias. This genteel manner has endeared her to the highborn, though others suspect her spellbinding melodies to actually emanate magic—a Demacian taboo. Silent to outsiders but somehow understood by close companions, Sona plucks her harmonies not only to soothe injured allies, but also to strike down unsuspecting enemies.

Support Item Build & Spells
TIPS: Start your build with 
Black Mist Scythe (Attack champions and structures to gain bonus gold). Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.
SUMMONER SPELLS
Restore 110 Health (110–400 
) to you and the most wounded nearby ally champion, and grants both of you 30% bonus Movement Speed for 2 second(s).Healing is halved for champions recently affected by Heal.
Cooldown: 100s
START
Attack champions and structures to gain bonus gold
+10 Ability HasteVersatile: Gain 14 Attack Damage or 28 Ability Power (Adaptive).
Soulcast: Every 60 seconds, gains 75 gold, 25 Health and 2 Attack Damage, or 4 Ability Power (Adaptive); up to 250 Health and 20 Attack Damage, or 40 Ability Power (Adaptive).
Deal 2 more damage to Sight Wards revealed by Sweeping Lens, Control Ward, and Scryer’s Bloom. When out of combat, gain 10% Movement Speed when you move toward your Perfect Partner. If you're more than 2,500 units apart, this bonus increases to 30%.
0Black Mist Scythe TIPS: This item is designed for support players, granting passive bonuses to gold and stats. It reduces your gold from killing minions and monsters but provides 75 gold and 1 Soulforce stack every 60 seconds. Each Soulforce stack adaptively grants health, attack damage, or ability power, and at 10 stacks you gain a significant bonus to one of these stats. The item also increases your effectiveness in clearing vision by dealing extra damage to revealed enemy wards. Ideal for map-control–focused supports who want to help their team without worrying about farming; you’ll steadily generate resources and strengthen your utility for both protect and peel.

Reduces ability cooldowns
+50% Mana Regen +15 Ability Haste
+45 Move SpeedSummoned: Reduces spell cooldowns by 15%.
1000Ionian Boots of Lucidity TIPS: These boots are designed for champions who rely on casting abilities as often as possible. They provide mana regeneration, Ability Haste, and further reduce the cooldown of Summoner Spells, allowing you to use key abilities more frequently while bringing back Flash, Smite, Ignite, and other Summoner Spells faster. They are an excellent choice for mages, supports, fighters, and any champion who benefits from maximizing ability uptime.
Protect allies, granting them increased healing
+200 Max Health
+40 Ability Power +50% Mana Regen +20 Ability HasteSoul Siphon: Store 30% of the premitigation damage dealt to enemy champions as Soul Shards (max 80–250 shards (
)). Healing or shielding a teammate consumes all Soul Shards to heal them for the corresponding amount. 2400Echoes of Helia TIPS: This item combines Health, Ability Power, Mana regeneration, and Ability Haste, making it well suited for active supports who both damage enemies and protect allies. Damage dealt to enemy champions stores charges that are consumed when healing or shielding an ally to provide additional healing. An excellent choice for enchanters who frequently participate in trades and team fights.BOOTS

Noxian Haste: Healing or shielding allied champions, casting a spell, or dealing damage to enemies with abilities grants Movement Speed (10% for melee champions / 8% for ranged champions) for 4 seconds.
This effect can only be triggered once every 4 seconds per ability.
2000Crimson Lucidity TIPS: These boots are ideal for champions who rely on casting abilities as often as possible. They greatly reduce the cooldown of both abilities and Summoner Spells while granting bonus movement speed whenever you heal or shield allies, cast spells, or damage enemies with abilities. They are an excellent choice for mages, supports, and fighters who value high mobility and maximum ability uptime.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Black Mist Scythe (Attack champions and structures to gain bonus gold) as your first item, followed by Ionian Boots of Lucidity (Reduces ability cooldowns) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Echoes of Helia (Protect allies, granting them increased healing).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Crimson Lucidity (Reduces ability cooldown).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Instead of Redemption
Abilities grant healing effects +200 Max Health +40 Ability Power +50% Mana Regen +20 Ability HasteHarmonic Echo: When you heal or shield an allied champion, the effect links to the nearest allied champion within range with the lowest percentage Health, excluding yourself, and grants them 30% of that heal or 35% of that shield. If no other allied champion is in range, the original target instead receives that same extra heal or shield.
2500Harmonic Echo TIPS: This item greatly enhances your healing and shielding capabilities. Moving and casting abilities builds Harmony, empowering your next heal or shield with additional healing, while allies at low health receive an even stronger recovery. It is an excellent choice for enchanter supports who focus on keeping their team alive and saving allies during critical moments.ITEM ALTERNATIVES
