Learn how to Sona counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Target Sona early game before level 6 — she's extremely vulnerable without her ultimate's stun to protect herself.
Basic Lane Phase
Engage when she's low on mana — her W costs 80-100 mana, making her vulnerable when she can't heal or shield.
Basic Lane Phase
Punish her when she steps up for Spellthief's procs — she needs to attack champions to generate gold, creating predictable forward movements.
Lane Phase
Avoid fighting in narrow jungle paths or objective pits — her Crescendo can easily hit multiple targets in confined spaces.
Team Fight Late Game
Engage immediately after she uses her W — with a 10-second cooldown, this leaves a window where she can't heal or shield allies.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position to the sides when Sona has ultimate ready — Crescendo is a linear skillshot with medium width, making it easier to dodge from the sides.
Team Fight Skirmish
Focus Sona when she's isolated during warding — she's extremely vulnerable when alone and has limited self-peel.
Late Game
Be aware that Sona's W Power Chord (green ring) reduces damage output by 25% for 3 seconds.
Skirmish Team Fight
Track her Power Chord stacks (shown under her health bar) — a colored ring around her indicates an empowered auto attack is ready.
Advanced Lane Phase Skirmish
