Read from Blitzcrank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sona.
This is Blitzcrank's own plan; across 3,646 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | You dominate level 1: Sona has no CC and the shortest effective range, so your Grab threat freezes her out. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | At level 2 your Overdrive plus Power Fist all-in beats an enchanter with zero stun to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Blitzcrank | Level 3 stays yours because every Power Chord step-up risks a hook that halves her HP. |
| Levels 4-5 | Blitzcrank | Through 4-5 her stacked shields still don't survive Grab into Power Fist into ADC damage. |
| Level 6 | Blitzcrank | At 6 your Static Field silence-burst deletes her before Crescendo can channel. |
| First item | Blitzcrank | Post-first-item your faster Q cooldown lets you threaten a pick on Sona every wave. |
| Two+ items | Blitzcrank | Even late your single-target Rocket Grab plucks the squishy enchanter out of formation, so you stay favoured. |
You own levels 1-2 outright: Sona is the squishiest enchanter in the game with no CC and short auto range, so hug the wave and threaten Rocket Grab (Q) the instant she creeps forward to Power Chord. At level 2 take Overdrive (E) and go for the all-in with Power Fist (W) if she oversteps, since she has no stun to trade back. Keep your body between her and your ADC so any Grab you land forces a free kill window. She will try to poke on cooldown, so bait her Q and walk her down. She is the squishiest support in the lane and has no crowd control to stop you, so hug the wave, hold the brush and take the first clean grab. Overdrive covers the approach. The fist is what keeps her from walking out, and your ADC only has to follow up once.
