Sona
Champions that beat Sona
- Blitzcranksupport
Sona has no dash and 530 base HP at level 1 — Rocket Grab (Q) lands once and either Sona or her AD carry dies before Crescendo (R) is online. Power Fist (E) knock-up chains for a guaranteed Static Field (R) silence-burst before Aria of Perseverance (W) can cast.
- Karmasupport
Sona has no stun pre-6 — Crescendo (R) needs setup time Focused Resolve (W) interrupts. Mantra-Q cone burst out-trades Power Chord (P) procs, and Inspire (E) shield-speed combo nullifies Aria of Perseverance (W) shield healing on the ADC.
- Leonasupport
Sona has no stun pre-6 — Crescendo (R) is the only CC, easily dodged by Eclipse (W) damage reduction. Aria of Perseverance (W) shield breaks under Shield of Daybreak (Q) plus Sunlight (P) burst, and Power Chord (P) procs cannot save her from Zenith Blade (E) root.
- Pantheonsupport
Sona has no hard crowd control to interrupt Shield Vault's W dash until level 6, and Crescendo R is a slow skillshot Pantheon sidesteps with E movement. Aria of Perseverance heal cannot outpace W stun plus Comet Spear tap damage,
- Pykesupport
Sona has no dash to break Pyke's Ghostwater Dive approach, and Aria of Perseverance heal cannot outpace Bone Skewer pull plus Phantom Undertow stun chain. Crescendo R is a slow skillshot Pyke dodges with W invisibility,
- Rakansupport
Sona has no dash and Crescendo R is a slow skillshot that fires too late after Grand Entrance lands. Aria of Perseverance heal cannot outpace Battle Dance dive damage, and Power Chord stun cannot fire faster than The Quickness charm window during the engage.
- Rellsupport
Sona has no stun or knock-up to interrupt Ferromancy: Crash Down landing on her ADC until Crescendo R at level 6 — and Crescendo is a slow skillshot Rell sidesteps. Aria of Perseverance heal cannot outpace the Crash Down knock-up plus Full Tilt chain damage,
- Threshsupport
Sona has no dash and her Crescendo R is a chain-stun that needs vision on a clumped group. A Death Sentence Q hook from lantern range cancels her R channel mid-cast, Power Chord passive stack burst cannot reach Thresh through Flay E knock-back,
- Vel'Kozsupport
Sona Hymn of Valor (Q) 850 range falls short of Vel'Koz Plasma Fission (Q) 1050 range, so she eats Q poke every wave. She has no hard CC pre-6 to peel Tectonic Disruption (E) knock-up on her ADC and Power Chord passive damage cannot match Organic Deconstruction true damage burst.
- Yuumisupport
You and Me! (W) attached untargetable state denies Hymn of Valor (Q) poke on the carry, and Final Chapter (R) wave snares stun Sona mid Crescendo (R) channel. Zoomies (E) ally speed plus heal out-paces Aria of Perseverance (W) throughput.
- Zacsupport
Sona has no stun or knockup outside Crescendo R, which is a long skillshot Zac dodges by E charge re-aim. Aria of Perseverance W shield is short-range, and Song of Celerity E movement speed cannot escape the chain into Let's Bounce! R before R locks her down.
- Zedmid
Living Shadow (W) plus Death Mark (R) double-dash delete Sona before Aria of Perseverance (W) can complete the cast animation. She has no Zhonya's-style escape baseline and the 1.5s Crescendo (R) windup is too long to interrupt his gap-close.
Champions Sona beats
- Brandsupport
Brand has no dash and Sear (Q) only stuns on a Blaze-stacked target. Aria of Perseverance (W) shield-heal blunts the Pillar of Flame (W) plus Conflagration (E) burn-stack window, and Crescendo (R) connects through Brand because Pyroclasm (R) is reactive only.
- Caitlynbot
Caitlyn's 650 attack range and Headshot passive crit-poke from outside enemy auto range. Hymn of Valor (Q) doubles her next auto damage with Power Chord proc, and Aria of Perseverance (W) heal-shields her through the 90 Caliber Net (E) cooldown window for safe sieging.
- Jhinbot
Jhin's Whisper passive scales damage on bonus AD and Dancing Grenade (Q) bounces between targets, but he is immobile with no dash. Hymn of Valor (Q) empowers his next auto with on-hit damage and Aria of Perseverance (W) heal-shields him through trades for free.
- Poppysupport
Sona's perma-shield Aria of Perseverance plus Crescendo R AoE stuns Poppy in the W-engage moment, denying Steadfast Presence follow-up. Hymn of Valor poke damage chips her at long range outside 475 E commit,
- Sorakasupport
Soraka's lane is heal-only — Astral Infusion (W) costs her own HP and Equinox (E) silence-root is a slow telegraphed cast. Hymn of Valor (Q) plus Power Chord out-poke her regen, and a level-6 Crescendo (R) stuns through both her and the ADC before Wish (R) heal cleans up.
- Xerathsupport
Arcanopulse (Q) is a long-range line poke from a fixed cast position and Shocking Orb (E) is his only CC tool, a single skill-shot. Aria of Perseverance (W) heals through the Q poke while Song of Celerity (E) move-speed dodges the next E orb stun setup.
