Working cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by pairing Sona and Darius together, you may not be giving your side a great deal of engage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Darius teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
