Sona into Nautilusmedium

Overview

Take short empowered-auto trades only when is down and your ADC can follow up.
Hold to punish Nautilus's committed engages or to peel after his hook lands.
Use shields and heals to sustain your ADC through Nautilus's burst and passive root.

Respect hook and passive root combo when Nautilus controls brush and ADC steps up.
Avoid extended trades when is available to prevent forced flashes or kills.
Beware of Nautilus roaming after wave crashes; maintain river vision to protect mid and dragon.

Track level 2 closely and avoid contesting wave unless your ADC can follow your threat.
Deny Nautilus brush control to reduce his hook threat and protect your ADC's positioning.
Use poke to pressure without overcommitting and keep your ADC safe behind minions.

Level 2 sustain trade lets you outlast Nautilus's initial engage attempts with your ADC.
Level 3 full kit enables better poke and movement aura to aid ADC follow-up and brush control.
Level 6 can stop Nautilus's all-in or secure kills with your ADC's burst.

Convert lane control into denying Nautilus brush and hook angles to keep your ADC safe.
Use around grouped fights to punish Nautilus's all-in or disengage attempts.
Ward river and dragon to secure objective setups and enable safe ADC roams or resets.
