Sona is one of the best scaling champions all game, period, you need to build AP more than support items on her, especially rushing Archangels (which has an absurd winrate), then build Ardent into Athene's, almost no Sona main builds redemption, shurelya's or mikael's on her because not only they're a waste of gold, they're also a waste of an item slot where you can get a better item like Lichbane, Banshee's or Zhonya's, hell, even Rylai's would be better for how good its stats are.

Her W scales poorly with AP and scales even worse with heal/shield items because the heal itself is weak, but come late-game, you have a 110 base heal with a 125 base shield on a 3.2s cooldown (with 45% cdr), spam that on your teammates and you will almost never lose late-game team fights, that's why you should get AP items on Sona, to strengthen your heals/shields and also have a BIG kick with your Q's damage and ally damage buff.

Building AP items on Sona is a great strategy/build and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise, the great winrates of building AP items speak for themselves too.
