Hello, steemians! finally decided to make my first post about video games, starting with one game that has become one of my favorites on MOBA category, League of Legends, I will talk about some of my favorite characters of this game, mainly support ones, starting with SONA one of the best characters for me, also my first pick up when I was trying the game by first time.

Strengths: Sona is a great healer support that uses an instrument that is like a piano mixed with a guitar because it has strings, she deals magic damage with the vibration of her notes. She's powerful once is feed, can do great damage and support as well.

Weaknesses: Despite her power, she's weak in body to body fight, so we have to keep the enemy far from us and at the same time our allied near.

History

Sona doesn't have any remember of her real parents. She was found newly born on the doors of a foster home in Jonia curled up with her instrument of rare origin. She was a quiet child, her caregivers thought that she was an unusual genius, but then they realized that she actually has an inability to speak or produce any kind of sound.

Her caregivers tried to sell her instrument more than once, but in rare circumstances, the instrument returned to the adoptive house or the buyers returned it for no reason.
It is said that etwahl killed anyone who tried to possess him, because only Sona had that privilege

Sona was finally adopted by a rich woman called Lestara Buvelle, that when she realized that this rare instrument exists embarked immediately towards Jonia. Thanks to Lestara, Sona discovered a deep bond with the instrument that Lestara called (etwahl), pronounced like french word etoile which means ''star''. With etwahl in her hands, she played notes that petrified or shook the hearts of those around her. Then she realized how powerful that instrument was and discovers a deadly application, improved this discipline in secret, dominated her gift to be prepared in case one day she would require the harmony of her talents in a recital.

When she felt ready, went to the only place that could be suitable for her recitals; The League of Legends.

Skills

Power Chord

This passive skill is nice because is like having two passives in one, Sona's basic abilities generate a unique aura for a short time, that empower her and all allied champions who enter within its radius. Depending on the skills she had used before will be the aura.
After she cast 3 basic abilities her next basic will deal more damage (depending on the level), and that's not all because depending on the last basic ability she cast it causes an additional effect on the enemy.

You all have to see DJ sona promotional video, is just amazing.

Curiosity: This skin has like 3 hours of sound effects, which makes this champion the number 1 in sounds. You can switch her DJ mode by pressing ''Ctrl + 5''.

The dance she performs is called Caramel Dance, watch this video for reference:

My personal opinion about this skins set

The best skins so far of this set is the Arcade and DJ Sona of course, some of the legacy ones don't worth it because they don't have effect skills. But if you can get them all (9020 Riot Points) just do it I would I'm always interested in skins so why not?

Sona Quotes

Attacking

"Allegrissimo."
"Order through music."
"Brioso! Brioso!"
"Shall we resolve this dissonance?"
"The fanfare ascends."
"A symphony of justice."

While in Movement

"From my mind to yours."
"Adagio, summoner."
"Harmoniously."
"Delicately."
"With perfect tempo."
"A sublime duet."
"Quarter time!"
"Accurate, like a metronome."
"Accelerated movement, I concur."

Quote Curiosity

Sona is a mute person and nevertheless, she can talk to the summoner. Why? She asserts that only ''you'' can hear her, and also she says ''from my mind to yours..'' This shows the mental connection between a summoner and his champion.
