This build focuses on Sonya's outstanding ability to dish out insane amounts of damage within seconds. If played right, Sonya will always have her Wrath of the Berserker, this means her damage will be increased significantly, along with C{C reduction.

Top


I will not waste your time listing all of the other talents for level 1, because this is the most important one to take for this build, use Shot of Fury when Wrath of the Berserker is almost depleted and you have no way of generating more fury to keep it going.

Top


Focused Attack is used to increase Sonya's damage output to enemy heroes after she uses her Ancient Spear
Shattered Ground is a decent alternative to Focused Attack if you are trying to lane more effectively or feel you are lacking lane power. This talent is not recommended outside of lane.
Many might think that Hurricane is an effective talent to pick for this build, however they are wrong, for the most part we have Wrath of the Berserker active which reduced the duration of CC by 50%. Only time this should be used is when you are facing a high CC team.

Top


Ferocious Healing is our selected talent to help us stay in lane longer, along with team fights, it will help us sustain all the damage that we take being in the front-line.
This is an alternative to Ferocious Healing if you are lacking that small amount of damage needed for the kill after Ancient Spear. This is an excellent alternative if Ferocious Healing is not needed.
This talent will help you succeed on landing Ancient Spear. Taking this talent will not have negative side-effects on your gameplay.

Top


This is the main part of the build, selecting this talent is a must for this build to work. Wrath of the Berserker lasts for 15 seconds (+1 second for everyone 10 fury gained) and has a 45 second cooldown, outlasting the cooldown is no problem if you utilize all of your abilities properly. Landing Ancient Spear adds 4 seconds to the duration of Wrath of the Berserker, using Shot of Fury (D) adds 5 seconds to wrath of the berseker. Additionally, Sonya generates 2 fury whenever she takes damage, and 6 fury whenever she deals damage with her basic attacks, account all of these fury generating sources and the cooldown of Wrath of the Berserker is practically nothing, therefore allowing you to stay in Wrath of the Berserker for the whole cooldown, and once the duration of Wrath of the Berserker is over, just pop your ult again.

Top


Spell Shield is not a necessity but helps greatly to reduce the damage Sonya takes while she is fighting in the front-line.
Choose this talent only if you need some time taken away from Ancient Spear it also helps you escape is certain situations (does not generate fury if it does not hit an enemy).
Take this talent if you feel like you are using far too much fury to cast Seismic Slam it will also help with the next recommended talent by reducing the addition fury of Furious Blow.

Top


A must have talent to increase Sonya's damage per second, since Seismic Slam is up every second, it is her main source of damage.
This is an alternative to Furious Blowif you feel like you are taking damage too fast, or you are not sustaining damage long enough. Taking this talent is not harmful to this build.

Top


Choosing this talent helps a lot by increasing her basic attack damage and slowing her targets for the guaranteed kill.
For even more sustainability take up Ignore Pain this is an outstanding alternative to Nexus Blades if you feel like you are taking too much damage.
