Tips & Tricks
- Make sure to hold Vayne / Xin Zhao even though they don’t always go on final board to unlock Galio.
- Ideally only play from spots where you have 5+ total copies of Sona + Jarvan and either an item or reroll augment. In other words, Jarvan 2 + Sona pair or Sona 2 with Jarvan pair. If you have 5+ total copies of Sona + Jarvan, this comp is +1 tier better (it becomes a much more playable line).
- Sona wants Nashor’s + Jeweled Gauntlet + Flexible third item (mostly Rod items though). Third item can be Archangel, Gunblade, Rabadon’s, second Nashor’s, etc.

Economy Strategy
- Do not spend gold on leveling this stage. If you have 2-stars and a good item, you can consider playing to win some rounds. Otherwise lose streak is common for stage 2.
- Roll to 33 gold, buying any unit that will be part of the level 4 or 5 board. You can also buy units that will be part of the level 6+ board, but you can sell those if your bench fills and you need to buy other units. Rolling to 33 gold is advisable because it allows you to save back up to 50g by 3-5.
- Do not level if you haven’t hit your 3-star 1-costs yet. If you have your 3-stars, you generally should still stay level 5 if you can win or if leveling to 6 would put you below 20g. Try to get above 40g this round.
- Ideally above 50g, level 5 at this point or level 6 with 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, roll to ~52g each turn. You don’t want to roll to perfect 50g as any units you buy in shop will put you below 50g. If you have 8+ copies of an itemized 1-cost, you can roll to 40g or 30g every round instead. Level to 6 once you hit your 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, you must roll until you hit them. You should level to 6 after hitting. In some rare games, you will miss or spend so much gold you can never catch up. These games will usually result in bottom 4 placements.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above ~20g. Otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7.
- Level to 8 if you are in bottom half of lobby HP and are losing rounds. If you are higher HP and feel stable, you can wait until next turn.
- Level to 8 if you haven’t already. Roll for any remaining units necessary for the comp. If stable, you can try to go 9. Most games you will end on level 8.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.




Early learnings is S tier took 1st in masters with it board just caps so high also jeweled lotus is probably better than seraphims tbh and its not even on the list
freljord version with anivia is better
Don’t see anyone playing that in high elo, but I see people playing vertical Demacia for early Galio unlock in high elo with good enough opener. It’s low sample size comp either way in high elo, but going to stick with the line I actually see people playing. Sona Anivia is trash every time I’ve seen it.
It’s only viable if u get early learnings so anivia can still do dmg without items from the chilled units and hold util/spare ap for liss, rumble gets slightly more tanky from the ap. Only really works with lots of items from 2nd aug since u wanna star 4 1 costs to make it work.
its not
Just played this comp with prismatic ticket and boy, i got jarvan and sona on 3-1 and from then i got a 15+ win streak ending 1st, so lucky, i also got champ dupes on creep round and on aug, galio 2 with thieves just carried with sona dealing 10k+ dmg every round, to finish i also got a garen 3, man i got SO lucky holy
