Sona Support, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Sona's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Sona is an enchanter in the support, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 53.0% win rate, 2.7% pick rate, 32,106 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Sona is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Sona wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Sona tips the fight, and peeling and disengaging to grind out the extended fight. The kit grades 8/10 teamfighting, 7/10 disengage. Sona's soft spots are engage and roaming (3/10, 3/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.
The most-played core build is Dream Maker, Echoes of Helia, Whispering Circlet, which holds a 51.7% win rate across 2,236 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
