New Ultimate Skin: DJ Sona

The ultimate skin, DJ Sona, has been added to the store.

• The skin's retail price is 3250 and for the price you receive the DJ Sona skin, three summoner icons and three profile banners (one for each summoner icon).
  • The skin will go on sale for 4 days at 2450 RP on her initial release (25% off).
• DJ Sona is made up of what could most easily be described as three independent skins: Kinetic, Concussive and Ethereal.
  • You can toggle between the modes by typing "/toggle" in chat or CTRL + 5.
  • Each mode features a unique model, particle effects for each ability, quotes and a distinctive soundtrack that replaces the in-game soundtrack.
• As with the standard soundtrack, Sona's three soundtracks build up as the game plays-out - interacting with various in-game events (such as first blood, kills, deaths). There are over three hours of music!
  • Additionally, each of Sona's abilities — Power Chord, Hymn of Valor, Aria of Perseverance, Song of Celerity and Crescendo — will interact with her soundtrack; adding and subtracting layers to the music, changing the tempo, etc.
• Sona's allies (but not her enemies) can opt-in to listening to Sona's music instead of the standard in-game soundtrack from the scoreboard. Sona has complete control of the soundtrack - her allies do not get to choose between Kinetic, Concussive or Ethereal.

The following Summoner Icons have been added:
