How to Play with Elise as Sona in LoL

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

Overall, Sona sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Elise. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Elise helps Sona perform poorer in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Sona is an ally to Elise, she sees a barely noticable drop in her full damage dealt. This difference may demonstrate that Elise does not support by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Sona is played with Elise on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Elise.
