Is Sona better when played alongside Ahri?

There is no top ally for Sona that will no matter what be her ideal ally. However, overall, Ahri is a relatively poor ally for Sona. By playing on the same team as Sona, she decreases their win rate by -2.0% to 48.4%. This signals that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Sona and Ahri that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Ahri has a greater difficulty than Sona. That means Sona players need to be careful when enlisting Ahri allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by aligning Sona and Ahri together, you will not be granting your team much engage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Ahri ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
