Guide to Synergizing Sona and Pyke

Tips for Playing as Sona with Pyke

Make sure to tag your allies while Sona's auras are active, but avoid getting caught out by enemies.

Save Crescendo for the game-altering moment.

Well-timed uses of Aria of Perseverance will grant you maximum survivability.

Advice to Understand How Pyke Will Play

The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.

A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.

Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.

Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.

How to Play with Pyke as Sona in LoL

Overall, Sona sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Pyke. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Pyke helps Sona perform poorer in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Sona is an ally to Pyke, she observes a noticable increase in her complete damage output. This difference may signal that Pyke supports by providing protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Sona is played alongside Pyke on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Pyke. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Pyke.

Moreover, when Sona plays with Pyke on the same side, she usually takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Pyke does a decent job of covering Sona in team fights.

Is Sona better when played alongside Pyke?

There is no one best ally for Sona that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. However, Pyke is a relatively poor teammate for Sona. By locking into the same side as Sona, he lowers their win rate by -2.3% to 48.1%. This proves that there is a bad synergy between Sona and Pyke that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Pyke has a greater difficulty than Sona. That means Sona players need to be careful when finding Pyke comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. Together, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

In contrast, by bringing Sona and Pyke together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of engage. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Pyke teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
