How to Play with Sona as Olaf in LoL

The Olaf Sona synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Sona, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Olaf sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sona. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Sona helps Olaf perform worse in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Olaf tries to synergize with Sona, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage dealt. This could indicate that Sona doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Sona on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Sona.

Moreover, when Olaf plays with Sona on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Sona does a decent job of protecting Olaf during team fights.

This shows that there is a good synergy between Olaf and Sona that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

Sona has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means Olaf players must be careful when enlisting Sona teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by bringing Olaf and Sona together, you will not be giving your other allies a great deal of engage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that fills this hole in their abilities.
