| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Rell | You win level 1 because Sona has no self-peel and your bulk beats her Q poke trade. |
| Level 2 | Rell | You win level 2 because your W-Q engage lands instantly on an immobile Sona with no escape. |
| Level 3 | Rell | You win level 3 because your CC chain keeps forcing all-ins she can't answer yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | You win levels 4-5 because she must burn Aria shields defensively while you dictate every trade. |
| Level 6 | Rell | You win level 6 because Magnet Storm pull chains your combo and beats a point-blank Crescendo. |
| First item | Rell | You win first item because your tank stats survive her heals while your engage still kills her. |
| Two+ items | Sona | Sona wins 2+ items because doubled-range Crescendo and stacked Aria heals out-peel your dive. |
You own levels 1-2: Sona is one of the most immobile supports in the game, so the moment you hit 2 you W into her, Q for the knock-up-into-stun, and she has zero escape. Trade aggressively into her Q poke because your passive armor and short cooldown CC beat her mana-hungry harass.
