Guide to Synergizing Sona and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Sona with Nasus

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

Advice to Understand How Nasus Will Play

Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.

If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.

If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

How to Play with Nasus as Sona in LoL

The Sona Nasus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nasus, 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 Nasus. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Nasus helps Sona perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Sona is an ally to Nasus, she sees a small increase in her complete damage dealt. This could signal that Nasus provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Sona is played alongside Nasus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Nasus.

Moreover, when Sona plays with Nasus on the same side, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Nasus does a poor job of covering Sona during teamfights.

Is Sona better when played alongside Nasus?

There is no one best ally for Sona that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. However, Nasus is a very typical teammate for Sona. By playing on the same team as Sona, he increases their win rate by 0.3% to 50.7%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Sona and Nasus that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Nasus has a greater difficulty than Sona. That means Sona players must be cautious when lining up Nasus allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting together, Sona players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by aligning Sona and Nasus together, you probably will not be giving your other allies enough engage. Plan to have other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Nasus ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
