Is Kayle better when played alongside Sona?

There is no ideal synergy for Kayle that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. Yet, Sona is a very typical ally for Kayle. By playing on the same side as Kayle, she raises their win rate by 0.1% to 51.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak bond between Kayle and Sona that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Sona has a much lower diffuclty than Kayle. That means Kayle players don't need to be cautious when lining up Sona allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting together, Kayle players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by pairing Kayle and Sona together, you will not be giving your other teammates enough engage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Sona teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
