Show All

None Low Ok Strong Ideal

Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Yasuo

Extreme

This annoying piece-of-**** can block all of your attacks, making you have to reorient your ult to at least try to get somewhat of a trade off. This is Sona's biggest counter.

Zed

Extreme

He outdoes Sona. Try to be careful and not let him kill you.

Karthus

Extreme

Even with just an Amplifying Tome he does 1/6 of Sona's health with one Q. There is basically no surviving this monstrosity w/o your jungler near. You better rush Banshee's Veil!

Ahri

Minor

Always have a Banshee's Veil with you. You'll win against her if you try hard enough

Vel'Koz

Even

Banshee's Veil is essential

Xerath

Extreme

He just out-does Sona by a landslide. Even escaping can't fix this.

Lux

Minor

Sure she can out-trade Sona, but if you rush Banshee's Veil then you can block her CC spell which'll lead to you out-trading her.

Malzahar

Extreme

He can block your ult because of his ******** passive which leads to a major threat. He also deals a lot of damage and has a lot of range

Corki

Minor

Haven't fought against Corki, but he seems easy

Veigar

Extreme

A Banshee's Veil doesn't even block his CC. He also out-"everything's" Sona.

Vladimir

Tiny

Back up when his hand swirls blood around it for 4 seconds and you're gtg. That easy!

Katarina

Even

A skill matchup

Orianna

Even

Her range and damage can be tough to face against. Make sure you've perfected your escaping ability and bring a Banshee's Veil.

Ziggs

Even

Keep your distance! Ziggs' attacks are moderately easy to dodge if that Ziggs player isn't that good.

Anivia

Extreme

Her trapping ability really hurts Sona. A Banshee's Veil is essential but even just that doesn't block her massive damage output.

LeBlanc

Major

Haven't fought against a LeBlanc before, but she sounds annoying.

Lissandra

Even

Haven't fought against a Lissandra

Cassiopeia

Extreme

She out-"everything's" Sona. A Banshee's Veil doesn't fix this matchup

Fizz

Minor

Tbh Fizz is easier than you think. His only kill potential is with a gank. Sona counters most assassins

Kassadin

Major

Haven't fought against a Kassadin, bu he sounds annoying

Jayce

Even

Haven't fought against Jayce before.

Zoe

Even

BANSHEE'S VEIL IS ESSENTIAL!! Also bring Liandry's Torment

Talon

Major

Talon just does that much 😒

Kayle

Tiny

Haven't fought against Kayle, but she sounds very easy

Taliyah

Even

Haven't fought against Taliyah

Viktor

Even

Just try to out-CS him and get items early

Ekko

Extreme

His mobility, range and damage output are too much for Sona to handle. Even a Banshee's Veil doesn't help.

Syndra

Major

Syndra's range and CC just tears apart Sona

Neeko

Major

She outdoes Sona. Bring a Banshee's Veil

Swain

Major

My only "Swain" match was a semi-forced AFK match, but he was still annoying

Annie

Even

Bring a Banshee's Veil

Akali

Tiny

AKALI IS SO ****ING EASY TO BEAT (unless you're tired or are constantly missing your ult >.<)

Zilean

Even

Haven't fought against Zilean

Diana

Extreme

There's no escape...

Irelia

Extreme

This ***** has range but is a fighter. Prepare to die

Twisted Fate

Minor

He is super easy to face against, especially with a Banshee's Veil

Brand

Even

You have some sustain to block his passive effect. Use a Banshee's Veil

Heimerdinger

Extreme

He's basically Zyra with less CC

Zyra

Extreme

She can just perma-CC you while her plants will shoot you down.

Aatrox

Even

Aatrox is a melee champ. Try to abuse that

Mordekaiser

Major

Eww...

Aurelion Sol

Even

He out-ranges Sona, but bringing a Banshee's Veil along with a Void Staff can help

Sylas

Extreme

His dashes and CC are hard to overcome. He'll just trap you with your ult whlie tearing you apart

Galio

Even

Only a smart Galio would bring some MR against Sona, but even you can pierce through that with a Void Staff and Morellonomicon. Try to stand back from him though
