How to Counter Sona

Invade Sona's early game: Considered quite weak at the start, Sona couldn't do much if she gets camped in the lane. Exploit this weakness to set her back and gain an early advantage.

Keep a relentless harassing strategy: Sona is quite squishy during the early game. Constant harassment will force her to use her W ability, which she usually reserves until absolutely necessary, or to recall, disrupting her plans.

Watch out for her Ultimate R: Her ultimate can turn the tide of a battle as it allows her team to look for an all-in or win skirmishes over objectives. Keep a safe distance when you suspect she might be prepared to use it.

Don't underestimate her late-game strength: Sona scales significantly as the game progresses and becomes a force to be reckoned with in the late game with her healing, shielding, and damage abilities.

Stay vigilant of her boosted healing: Her healing ability receives a boost after getting her first item, giving her added mana regeneration that is highly beneficial for Sona. Try to out-damage her healing or pick her off before she can heal her team.

Capitalize on her passive misuse: Improper usage of her passive reduces Sona's performance significantly. Observe her closely and take advantage when she misuses her abilities.

Isolate away from team: Sona excels in team fights due to the added buffs her abilities provide to her allies. Try to isolate her or pick her off before a team fight so she can't bolster her team's strength.
