Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Sona?

There is no ideal ally for Kai'Sa that will no matter what be her #1 ally. However, overall, Sona is a relatively poor companion for Kai'Sa. By playing on the same team as Kai'Sa, she drops their win rate by -1.4% to 45.1%. This shows that there is a bad bond between Kai'Sa and Sona that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Sona has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Sona teammates to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Working on the same side, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Kai'Sa and Sona together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates very much cover. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Sona teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
