| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | You out-poke Sona at level 1 with Zephyr while dodging her Q, keeping the paper support honest. |
| Level 2 | Janna | Your level-2 Zephyr slow into an ADC follow-up beats Sona's slower Power Chord spike. |
| Level 3 | Janna | You hold disengage tools that neutralize her level-3 poke pattern, so the lane stays yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Janna | Through 4-5 Sona has no lockdown and can't all-in, letting you peel and punish her steps. |
| Level 6 | Janna | Monsoon hard-answers Crescendo, so your level-6 spike outclasses her ultimate window. |
| First item | Janna | Your first-item shield stacking outpaces her aura sustain, keeping your carry ahead. |
| Two+ items | Janna | With items you win every fight you save Monsoon for her R, so you stay favoured late. |
You out-tempo Sona at levels 1-2: your Zephyr poke and passive move speed let you dodge her Q double-hits while chipping her paper-thin health bar, and she can't all-in without a summoner.
