The best picks not in lane to counter Sona include Kog'Maw, Sivir, and Ezreal. These champs are all great at countering Sona with decent win rates over 56%. Even if these Sona counter picks are not chosen opposite your position, it's not smart to choose her into these matchups. They will often crush Sona.
Conversely, if the opposing team picks either Seraphine or Miss Fortune, you should seriously consider taking her, as she easily wins against these champions with win rates over 55% against both ofthem.
Invade Sona's early game: Considered quite weak at the start, Sona couldn't do much if she gets camped in the lane. Exploit this weakness to set her back and gain an early advantage.
Keep a relentless harassing strategy: Sona is quite squishy during the early game. Constant harassment will force her to use her W ability, which she usually reserves until absolutely necessary, or to recall, disrupting her plans.
Watch out for her Ultimate R: Her ultimate can turn the tide of a battle as it allows her team to look for an all-in or win skirmishes over objectives. Keep a safe distance when you suspect she might be prepared to use it.
Don't underestimate her late-game strength: Sona scales significantly as the game progresses and becomes a force to be reckoned with in the late game with her healing, shielding, and damage abilities.
Stay vigilant of her boosted healing: Her healing ability receives a boost after getting her first item, giving her added mana regeneration that is highly beneficial for Sona. Try to out-damage her healing or pick her off before she can heal her team.
Capitalize on her passive misuse: Improper usage of her passive reduces Sona's performance significantly. Observe her closely and take advantage when she misuses her abilities.
Isolate away from team: Sona excels in team fights due to the added buffs her abilities provide to her allies. Try to isolate her or pick her off before a team fight so she can't bolster her team's strength.
