Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sona.
This is Lulu's own plan; across 7,690 pooled games the lane is leaning Sona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | You out-trade Sona at level 1 with Glitterlance plus Pix auto versus her weaker Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | Level 2 Glitterlance plus empowered attack bursts Sona who has no dash to escape. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Level 3 your shield and slow still beat her aura sustain in short trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Levels 4-5 you keep the poke-trade edge before her sustain fully scales. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it is skill: Crescendo is a lane-ending stun that races your Wild Growth. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays even as her aura sustain offsets your poke advantage. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | Into 2+ items your Whimsy and Wild Growth out-peel her collapse, tilting it back to you. |
You own the level-1 and level-2 window: Glitterlance plus a Pix-empowered auto out-trades Sona's Hymn-of-Valor Q poke, and she has no dash to dodge your slow. Poke her off the caster minions and set up an all-in before she stacks sustain. Your poke plus the empowered auto out-trades hers cleanly, so take the exchanges and hold the tempo. Leave the familiar on your ADC for the duration. Hold the polymorph for the moment she steps up, and push the wave while she is stuck holding position behind her ADC.
