Sona vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Prioritize protecting ADC from Brand's poke and stun by maintaining safe spacing and vision control.
Deny Brand brush control to limit his (W) poke angles and prevent empowered (Q) setups.
Use (R) to punish grouped enemy engages or to peel for your ADC during all-ins.

Trading pattern

Take short empowered-auto trades with (Q) only when (Q) and (W) are on cooldown.
Hold (W) shield and heal to sustain your ADC through Brand's poke and avoid low-value mana trades.
Save (R) for confirmed engages or to counter Brand's all-in attempts with your ADC's follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect Brand's empowered (Q) stun setup after his (W) or (E) applies Blaze on your ADC.
Avoid clustering with your ADC when (R) is available to prevent bounce damage.
Be cautious when Brand controls brush or fog, as it increases his poke and stun threat to your ADC.

Early game

Track level 2 closely and avoid fighting unless your ADC can follow your engage or poke.
Hold brush control to block (W) and (Q) angles and keep your ADC safe behind minions.
Use wave crash timing to create safe roam windows without leaving ADC vulnerable to Brand's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your sustain and poke; use it to survive Brand's early poke and heal your ADC.
Level 3 grants your movement aura; leverage it to reposition safely and enable ADC follow-up after poke.
Level 6 (R) is your main counter-engage tool; use it with ADC follow-up to punish Brand's grouped damage.

Win conditions

Convert lane safety and aura stacking into strong ADC access and denied enemy positioning.
Use vision control and wave state to create safe roam windows for mid pressure or dragon setup.
Leverage (R) in teamfights to enable your ADC's damage and prevent enemy all-ins or dives.
