Read from Sona's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Milio.
This is Sona's own plan; across 6,839 pooled games the lane is leaning Sona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Milio | Level 1 favours Milio: his Q poke and passive empowerment out-trade your early auras. |
| Level 2 | Milio | Level 2 favours Milio: E shields and speed keep his ADC safe from your Power Chord trade. |
| Level 3 | Milio | Level 3 favours Milio: his sustained poke and peel still dictate the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Milio | Levels 4-5... Level 4 favours Milio: his shield and poke advantage persist before your items. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 is even: both hold ults and neither can force a decisive all-in. |
| First item | Sona | First item favours Sona: your Q burst and Power Chord out-poke his shield uptime. |
| Two+ items | Sona | 2+ items favour Sona: aura stacking and Crescendo outscale his single-layer peel. |
Levels 1-4 favour Milio: his Q poke, E shields, and passive fire-damage empowerment let him win the early poke war and keep his ADC safe, so you can't force favourable trades and should just soak XP and scale. His kick knocks your carry out of position, so keep the shield-aura ready for that rather than the chip. Cycle the damage stance while his cooldowns are up, and press the pressure onto their ADC rather than onto Milio, whose healing outlasts anything you can poke him with.
