Read from Braum's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sona.
This is Braum's own plan; across 2,605 pooled games the lane is leaning Sona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Braum | You crush Level 1 — Sona has no CC and paper-thin base stats you walk through. |
| Level 2 | Braum | Level 2 belongs to you: Q into passive stun kills a self-peel-less Sona. |
| Level 3 | Braum | Level 3 stays yours — your slow-and-stun kit ignores her poke-only pattern. |
| Levels 4-5 | Braum | Levels 4-5 favor you as you dive her frail body before Crescendo comes online. |
| Level 6 | Braum | At 6 your R out-engages and hard-cancels her Crescendo, keeping the lead. |
| First item | Braum | First item you still one-shot-window her with Q-passive while she buys no defense. |
| Two+ items | Sona | Late she flips it — scaled Crescendo and aura healing let Sona out-teamfight you. |
You own Levels 1-3. Sona is one of the frailest supports in the game with no hard CC until 6, so walk her down: Winter's Bite (Q) slows, your passive Concussive Blows stuns after four hits, and she simply can't kite a Braum who commits. Bait her Power Chord onto minions or your E shield before you dive. She is one of the frailest supports in the lane and has no hard crowd control before six, so walk her down and let the passive do the rest. Mark her, shield your own approach, and let your ADC finish the stack. Keep the wave near your side so the walk is short.
