How to Play with Kai'Sa as Sona in LoL

The Sona Kai'Sa synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Kai'Sa, 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 very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kai'Sa. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Kai'Sa helps Sona perform poorer in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Sona tries to synergize with Kai'Sa, she observes a little decrease in her total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Kai'Sa does not help protection for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Sona is played with Kai'Sa on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Kai'Sa. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Kai'Sa.

Moreover, when Sona plays with Kai'Sa on the same team, she typically takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Kai'Sa does a poor job of protecting Sona during teamfights.

Is Sona better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Sona that will always be her top teammate. Yet, Kai'Sa is a very bad companion for Sona. By playing on the same team as Sona, she lowers their win rate by -5.3% to 45.1%. This shows that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Sona and Kai'Sa that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Kai'Sa has a greater difficulty than Sona. That means Sona players should be cautious when enlisting Kai'Sa teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Sona players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Sona and Kai'Sa together, you will not be granting your team very much tankyness. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Kai'Sa ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
