How to beat Sona as Renata Glasc: the early game

You out-range and out-tank Sona at 1-2: she has no hard CC until 6, so use your W shield-heal to soak Hymn of Valor pokes and thread Q through the minion line to root her the moment she steps to power-chord an auto. Your level-2 W spike lets you and your ADC step up before she can trade back. She has nothing that stops a tether and nowhere to go once it lands, so the lane is yours to dictate. Mark her with an auto beforehand, keep the shield-speed for your carry rather than yourself, and let the extra damage rather than a commit decide the exchange.
