Just picked up Sona in Wild Rift and need some guidance? Fear not, read on for our guide on the Maven of the Strings and you'll be the ideal botlane partner in no time!
Runes
With a kit consisting entirely of pokes and friendly buffs, Sona has no problem at all with picking up Aery. In red, Champion is also a good choice, and while it will force you to play cautiously to avoid dying, that sort of gameplay suits Sona perfectly.
In green, Loyalty is perfect if you are able to stay near your AD Carry, as it provides both you with bonus defensive stats. In blue, Manaflow Band will quickly let you tap into a well of additional mana, which is essential at the end of the match when you'll need to buff your team constantly.

Tips & Tricks
Hymn of Valor pairs nicely with your passive, Power Chord, to allow you to put out some good damage during the laning phase. If you can do so without putting yourself in danger, always be on the lookout to land an auto-attack on an enemy champion after using Hymn of Valor.
