How to Play with Lucian as Sona in LoL

The Sona Lucian synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Lucian, 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 Lucian. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Lucian helps Sona perform worse in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Sona tries to synergize with Lucian, she gets a small decrease in her total damage dealt. This could signal that Lucian does not help cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Sona is played alongside Lucian on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Lucian.

Moreover, when Sona plays with Lucian on the same team, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Lucian does a poor job of protecting Sona in teamfights.

Is Sona better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Sona that will no matter what be her ideal ally. However, Lucian is a very typical ally for Sona. By locking into the same team as Sona, he decreases their win rate by -0.3% to 50.1%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small synergy between Sona and Lucian that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Lucian has a greater difficulty than Sona. That means you need to be careful when arranging Lucian teammates to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to work well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Sona and Lucian together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much tankyness. Plan to bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Lucian teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
