Sona Counter: Sona is a mage support and as such has a large amount of utility for a small amount of resistance and long term longevity. She has the ability to poke enemies, heal and speed up allies, and to stun enemies with an ultimate that, for all intents and purposes, is a straight line AOE stun. All of these abilities allow her to fill several roles in game, making her something of a jack-of-all-trades, and an extreme terror when she’s strong enough to be considered conventional and meta. Sona has low scaling with ability power, so items like Lich Bane or Luden’s Echo are weak. Instead, buy items that provide CDR, durability, and utility. Sona’s most useful Power Chord outside laning phase is actually Diminuendo, not Staccato. When timed correctly, its effect is comparable to Exhaust.

Tips To Deal With Sona Counter 8.19

1) Maintain adequate distance from your allies in teamfights and prevent clumping up fighting in areas where you are close together like in thin alleyways in the jungle since it lets Sona use her ultimate Crescendo with most efficiency stunning everyone in a line and making them dance for the duration.

2) Sona is one of the most squishiest champions early in the game with very low health compared to others. So if she gets too close while poking, make a coordinated assault on her looking to get a kill on her.

3) Try staying out of vision, like staying in the bush for avoiding poke damage from her Q/Hymn of Valor which cannot target champions out of her sight which is a good way to lower her harass damage.

4) Sona has good utility and harass in her kit but consumes a lot of mana to do the same. Going for small trades often in the early game, forcing her to use her abilities to answer the trade will make her go out of mana very soon. Once she is out of mana, look to make efficient trades against her if she happens to get close since she will have no abilities to cast.
