How to win lane as Braum against Sona · 50.12% win rate over 1,301 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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.
