Sona is a two-stacks champion: walk into fights with the exact Power Chord already loaded—green to cut a diver’s burst, purple to leash the caught target, blue mostly for lane tax or cleanup .
In bot lane, play “Q tag, brush drop, back out”: use early AA -> Q -> empowered auto when brush and minions make it free, then leave before the trade turns into the engage window they wanted .
Do not hide on the back wall—stand in the ally pocket so your auras actually touch people, and if lane goes bad, shrink the job to green-chording the entry and forcing one more full rotation, because Sona’s games get much better the longer teamfights keep repeating .
Use green chord when the fight is about to become real damage, not just contact. If a diver is walking in but has not spent the spell that actually kills your carry, keep the chord loaded and wait half a beat. Tagging too early often lets them finish the combo anyway after the debuff fades. The clean window is right as they commit or just before the burst lands. If nobody is threatening that kind of entry, switch your thinking: purple chord is usually better for holding a catch together, and blue is mostly for lane tax, cleanup, or a free finish when the fight is already decided.
