Noobs don't know bout Sona's burst

I didn't know this either. It looks like you should be able to burst for 700 damage when you hit 6, vs an opponent with 30 armor/MR. Ult, power chord, Q, ignite, attack.

going to assume a doran's blade here Q plus 1 point in the T1 offensive tree mastery = 15 AP Q plus d. blade = 89 AD

ult does 150+15*0.8 = 162 magic dmg power chord does 2*(14+9*6) = 136 mag dmg and 89 phys dmg Q does 150+15*0.7 = 160.5 mag dmg attack does 89 phys dmg ignite does 50+20*6 = 170 true dmg

totals to 458.5 mag dmg, 178 phys dmg, 170 true dmg. Over 800 damage if they had no resists. assuming 0|15% mpen, they have 25.5 effective MR, cutting that 458.5 mag dmg to 458.5*100/(100+25.5) = 365.3. Assuming 15|0 armor pen, they have 15 effective armor, cutting that 178 phys dmg to 178*100/(100+15) = 154.8. True damage is true damage. SUM TOTAL: 365.3+154.8+170 = 690.1. just short of 700 damage. If you want to exceed 700, you can easily push it there by adding in any of a number of other sources of damage, like the 3 AD and 6 armor pen from the offensive tree, or offensive quints
