Overall
Sonja distributes roses across the battlefield — each color serving a different purpose in a system that blends team defense, enemy attrition, and self-sustain. Gold Roses go to allies, reducing incoming damage for a set number of hits and reflecting damage back at attackers; they also radiate an aura that damages surrounding enemies and heals the bearer. Black Roses target the most injured enemy, dealing area damage that converts into shields for the most injured ally. Red Roses curse enemies with amplified damage on each hit, then reclaim a chunk of max health that Sonja absorbs as healing. When her health drops below a threshold, she enters Glimmering Brilliance — she stops attacking but regenerates rapidly based on how many roses of any color are on the field, turning her entire rose economy into a survival engine. Outside that state, she passively reduces incoming damage and punishes attackers.

Sonja gifts all allied heroes a Gold Rose. All allies with a Gold Rose receive 50% less damage the following 5 times they are dealt damage, and the attacking source loses health equal to 80% of Sonja's Attack Rating. If an ally already has a Gold Rose, the number of times it is effective is reset. Each Gold Rose can reduce damage up to 5 times.
When Sonja is in a state of Glimmering Brilliance, she does not use Normal Attacks, but instead periodically recovers Energy. When Sonja is not in a state of Glimmering Brilliance, the damage she receives from enemies is reduced by 20%, and the attacking source loses health equal to 70% of Sonja's Attack Rating. This effect can be only triggered once per second. When Sonja's health falls below 60% for the first time, she enters a state of Glimmering Brilliance for 25 seconds. While in a state of Glimmering Brilliance Sonja recovers 2% of her max health per second for each Rose of any color that is currently on the battlefield, and can recover up to 12% max health per second.
Sonja places a Black Rose where the most injured enemy is located, that deals 180% of Sonja's Attack Rating as AoE damage to nearby enemies. After the Black Rose deals damage 3 times, the most injured ally receives a shield that exists for 8 seconds which has a value equal to the damage dealt by the Black Rose, or at least 220% of Sonja's Attack Rating.
Sonja gifts the most injured enemy hero a Red Rose that causes them to additionally lose health equal to 70% of Sonja's Attack Rating for the following 5 times they suffer damage, after which Sonja reclaims the Red Rose. When Sonja reclaims the Red Rose, if the enemy is still alive, they shall lose 8% of their max health, but this value cannot exceed 240% of Sonja's Attack Rating value, meanwhile Sonja shall recover an amount of health equal to that lost by the enemy. If Sonja is in a state of Glimmering Brilliance, the amount of health she recovers from this skill is multiplied 2 times. This skill prioritizes enemies that have yet to posses a Red Rose.
