Taking Heal on the Guardian user is a must to get the shield, but only take one Heal. You can whittle your enemies down with Sona Q, and if you hit a Lux binding, it’s almost certainly a death sentence. You are still relevant in the early game.
They can speed through stacking their Spellthief’s, granting them both vision items for good coverage late game, while also hyperscaling towards Sona’s late game spikes. Spellthief’s Edge and Relic Shield both have a new mechanic to disincentivize farming which reduces the amount of gold you get from excessive minion kills, meaning now the maximum gold generation is pairing two Spellthief’s users.”īoth players will typically take Guardian, but the Sona can choose to take Aery or Comet for more damage if they are safe enough without the defensive rune. “This season however the support items are completely different. “The old Relic Shield had no penalty for farming, and receiving creeps from your ally’s Relic Shield procs did not halt your Spellthief’s gold generation, so you really wanted to pair Sona AD carry with a relic shield user that would be able to farm while Sona is still completing her Spellthief’s quest,” Schuhbart said. As long as you don’t hit the three CS per minute cap, you’ll get maximum gold generation. The lane doesn’t need to farm heavily, as both Lux and Sona will take Spellthief’s. The strategy works around two things - out-sustaining your opponent’s lane poke, and late-game scaling. Watch BIG use Sona-Lux to dismantle Unicorns of Love in the Prime League. It’s no coincidence - Don Arts got matched with Calmsky and I on Sona-Lux a lot of times, so he had a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the strategy.” “My favorite has been BIG vs USE, I really liked their draft and execution.
They also had AD damage threats - Graves and Renekton - on the topside to negate the heavy AP bot lane. While their enemies, Unicorns of Love, picked a dive heavy composition to try and get the Sona in late game fights, they were able to peel away Kassadin, Nocturne, and Sylas thanks to Malphite. He pointed towards German team BIG as an example of how to play the lane properly. In soloq it’s always good because people wont know how to deal with it,” Calmsky explained. “I think it’s not good as a blind pick, as you can see in the Sandbox vs T1 game, but if the enemy team picks a support that is bad at roaming it’s very powerful. However, this will only climb - much like how Sona-Taric did - once teams get a handle of how to play the duo. Currently, across all leagues, the bot lane duo has a 9-10 win loss record.
