Sona rune page

9× Minor Mark of Armor9× Seal of Armor9× Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist3× Quintessence of Gold

Quintessences of Gold are the Season 3 support economy - 1 gold per 10 seconds each, stacked on top of Philosopher's Stone. Double armor covers the poke lane.

Sona masteries

0/9/21 Utility. Greed and Wealth are raw gold per second - on a support with no farm that is the difference between owning a Shurelya's at 20 minutes and not.
