Pentakill Sona trades the serene virtuoso look for a gothic metal persona. The deep purple gown, red hair, and patterned tattoos push a darker stage presence, while the etwahl becomes a spiked, chained instrument that reads more like a weaponized keytar. Compared to base Sona’s soft blue dress and gold harp, this model is heavier and edgier, with rougher metals, skull details, and dark cloth textures that match the band’s album-cover vibe.
Her updated VFX give every aura a louder look: Hymn of Valor fires sharp crimson‑purple notes, Aria of Perseverance blooms in dark halos with chain‑like shapes, and Song of Celerity leaves quick, jagged trails; Crescendo pops with a darker shockwave that feels like a stage amp peaking. The palette stays within purple, black, and crimson, replacing the base skin’s airy blue-green tones with something grittier and more aggressive.
Audio-wise, there are no new spoken lines or a different voice actor, but her ability SFX were refreshed in later updates to emphasize metal‑leaning strings, riffs, and chunkier impact layers, making casts feel punchier than the base’s delicate harp sounds. Animations remain standard for a 975 RP skin, so the recall and emotes follow base timing and poses, though overall polish was improved alongside texture and VFX passes.
As part of the Pentakill skinline, this skin nods to classic heavy metal—spikes, chains, skulls, and dark stage lighting—tying Sona to the band alongside Karthus, Mordekaiser, Olaf, Yorick, and Kayle. It’s a straightforward, thematic take with clear visual identity and modernized effects after the V12.2 update, even without bespoke animations or new VO.
Release date: September 21, 2010.
V4.13: Texture update to clean up materials and colors. V7.16: Additional texture polish for higher-res clarity. V10.18: Updated voiceover/SFX pass for Sona’s kit. V12.2: Global Sona VFX update with darker purple/crimson effects tailored to Pentakill.
Pentakill is League’s in‑universe heavy metal band. Each champion takes a band role and leans into album-art vibes: skulls, chains, leather, studded armor, and dramatic stage lighting in blacks, purples, and steel tones.
This alternate universe spans multiple releases: Pentakill (the original lineup), Pentakill III: Lost Chapter (the 2021 revival set), and Dissonance of Pentakill (a special tie‑in for Viego). The theme focuses on live-show instruments, gritty props, and darker, punchy VFX.
Lore summary: The band formed around Karthus, Mordekaiser, Yorick, Sona, and Olaf, with Kayle joining as a celestial vocalist. They’ve “melted faces” across Runeterra in mythic gigs, headlining three albums: Smite & Ignite (2014), II: Grasp of the Undying (2017), and III: Lost Chapter (2021). Trivia: Gnar appears as a Pentakill Superfan, and this universe sits outside Runeterra Prime.
