Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Diana

Extreme

She closes gaps really easy and can burst you down before you can get anything off on her. Similar to her threat to Ahri.

Malzahar

Extreme

Silences will end Sona.

Katarina

Tiny

Easy to zone out and burst without taking too much damage.

Kayle

Major

She has just as much range as you do, be careful of that and you can get good hard cc before she ults.

Yasuo

Major

Windwall is a pain to deal with as Sona.

Ahri

Even

She also pokes from a distance, but her skillshots are easy to dodge with e when you hit 3

Ekko

Major

Negates a lot of damage, and if you get hit by his stun you are as good as dead.

LeBlanc

Minor

She gets poked really hard, and you can get out of her range with e.

Lux

Even

Can be a problem with the cc, but get to mid game and you outscale her.

Karthus

Even

Easy to burst him, but he scales really well, which can cause some problems.

Akali

Extreme

Your q wont follow into her shroud, and she closes gaps really easily.

Brand

Extreme

DAMAGE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ziggs

Minor

Easy dodged skillshot and abilities, while poking him down.

Anivia

Major

hard CC is difficult, and her wall can cut off route without a lot of mobility besides e.

Azir

Minor

If he's good he can win, but you can get creeps ranged and stay away from the sand soldiers while under tower while poking with q.

Kassadin

Even

Gap closers are hard to deal with, but you can burst better early game, but if you don't get ahead it can be very rough.

Fizz

Extreme

Gap closers and ranged attack. Very hard matchup, stay away behind creeps and you will be fine after a bit of farm.

Cassiopeia

Even

Her ground can be annoying, but regardless she can't burst as well as you early and mid game.

Heimerdinger

Extreme

HARD COUNTER!!! his turrets are the bane of existence for a sona.

Lissandra

Extreme

Gap Closers and a lot of cc makes her very dangerous.

Orianna

Major

She has range, but stay away from the ball and use e to escape from ult and you will be fine.

Syndra

Extreme

BIG DAMAGE

Viktor

Even

Skill matchup, avoid lazer and stay as far away as possible. Until you can use power chord

Veigar

Extreme

CC and big damage

Twisted Fate

Major

His ult can be a problem, but if you have ult up, you have a good chance of winning a fight.

Vel'Koz

Even

can be an issue if played right, but normally you can use e to escape his abilities and knockup while poking him down.

Aurelion Sol

Minor

Easy to poke down out of range of his stars, and you have an escape with e

Ryze

Even

Dodge skillshots and you are fine, if not you are ****ed.

Xerath

Even

Skillshots are easy to dodge with e, but be careful not to get too cocky.

Talon

Extreme

High damage and mobility that can mess you up, plus his invis makes him not able to be hit by q.

Taliyah

Even

mobility and dmg

Zilean

Even

He's pretty rough to lane against because of his stuns, but if avoided he can be easy to burst late game (or pop his ult)

Zoe

Even

Good burst, but she can be tough if she gets early ganks and gets ahead.

Alistar

Even

Easy to escape from while using e, avoid cc while poking down so your adc can get the kill

Bard

Tiny

Super easy to distance yourself from, still poking him, if you get your ult off on him before he gets anything on you, you have a free kill (CAREFUL FOR BANCHEES VEIL)

Blitzcrank

Major

BE CAREFUL and stay behind minions or else if he grabs you- YOU ARE DEAD

Brand

Even

High Damage early, but regardless you can win easy dodging abilities early game

Braum

Major

Be careful as he can block your q and your ult, but wait for his shield to go down and burst him down for the ADC

Heimerdinger

Extreme

**** this guy, he has stupid abilities. Keep distance and wait until you scale

Janna

Even

Skill matchup, easy to lane against with the right build, but be careful as she can cc you into oblivion

Karma

Even

Hard damage and cc if you are not careful to get out of her range. Be careful of empowered q and e as she can either poke you down or negate all of your damage.

Leona

Major

CC is rough but get some magic penetration and you can kill her early and get fed

Lulu

Extreme

She negates all of your damage, try to keep distance and scale.

Lux

Major

Damage and cc can be a huge problem. Follow the advice for LuLu and Heim: Distance yourself until you can scale with the adc.

Malzahar

Extreme

Silences end sona, as she is really reliant on her abilities.

Morgana

Major

Her stun and damage is ****ing ridiculous just try to poke her down as much as possible with empowered q

Nami

Even

Skill matchup. bubble is an issue- but get away with e and poke as much until an ult

Rakan

Minor

Easy to dodge his knock up, poke him with q and magic penetration.

Nautilus

Major

CC is deadly plus his tanky-ness is really hard to handle unless you have a vayne or true dmg adc

Soraka

Even

Late game outheal, but watch if she builds AP, she can do a lot of damage.

Tahm Kench

Even

he can catch up real quick and save people from your ult ez pz

Taric

Major

CC can be deadly, but back off before he can ult or he will decimate you.

Thresh

Introduction

Hi! I'm a M7 Sona main that has been playing her since I started in season 5.
She's a really good AP character with a varied skill set that allows for many play styles and build paths.
