Janna vs Sona

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Prioritize denying Sona's engage angle by controlling brush and holding (Q) for counter-engage.
Shield ADC's key trades to enable safe poke and prevent Sona's empowered autos.
Maintain river vision to track Sona's roam timer and protect ADC from (R) setups.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) to punish Sona's predictable engage or her ADC's follow-up attempts.
Use (E) shield proactively on ADC's best auto trades to offset Sona's poke and sustain.
Apply (W) slow only when safe to back out, avoiding overextension without (Q) ready.

Danger windows

Respect Sona's level 6 (R) stun; avoid committing without ADC follow-up or vision.
Beware of Sona empowered (E) slow combined with ADC poke, which can trap your ADC.
Watch for Sona stepping up for poke without vision; deny brush control to reduce this threat.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only contest wave if ADC can follow your shield and (Q) threat.
Use brush control to deny Sona safe poke angles and prevent her from stepping up.
Coordinate wave crash timing with ADC before considering a roam to avoid ADC vulnerability.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your shield plus knockup, enabling stronger peel and disengage against Sona's poke.
Level 3 grants full peel kit; use it to control brush and force Sona to play defensively.
Level 6 (R) lets you reset fights and deny Sona's all-in attempts with (R).

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) threat into safe ADC trades and denied enemy ADC positioning.
Use (R) around dragon or teamfights to reset enemy all-ins and enable favorable follow-up.
Roam only after wave crash with ADC safe, placing river vision to punish Sona's low roam pressure.
