How to play 소나
소나 is a 5-cost 지휘관, 초능력 and 길잡이 champion that usually plays as a backline damage dealer. It needs safe damage uptime, and the unit gets much better when your frontline buys enough time. 소나 appears in The Big Bang and Contract Killer lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

When to play 소나
Consider playing around 소나 when your health and economy let you reach late levels and the board needs a high-cost capstone. For items, 쇼진의 창 and 공허의 지팡이 are strong signals that 소나 can become a real carry. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward The Big Bang and Contract Killer. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

Why these items work
쇼진의 창, 공허의 지팡이 and 거인 학살자 are recommended. 쇼진의 창 speeds up repeated casts, 공허의 지팡이 helps magic damage punch through resistance and 거인 학살자 helps cut through high-health frontliners. The point of the setup is to give it enough uptime to convert its damage pattern into round wins.

Item alternatives
When the perfect setup is not available, use 푸른 파수꾼, 내셔의 이빨, 적응형 투구 and 보석 건틀릿 as substitutes. For damage substitutes, match the damage type and cast tempo instead of forcing random stats. If 소나 is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.
timeline
Early, mid, and late game
Early: preserve health and economy instead of waiting for an expensive unit. Mid game: keep items flexible while leveling. Late game: 소나 is a capstone piece, so once upgraded, build the final board around 지휘관, 초능력 and 길잡이 and support its cast pattern.

Positioning tips
Place 소나 in the back two rows with a clear line to the enemy frontline. Spread it away from your other carry unless you need same-side focus fire. Its mana bar is short, so surviving lets it cast repeatedly.
