Read from Yuumi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sona | Sona's level-1 Q and Power Chord out-poke your early trades. |
| Level 2 | Sona | At level 2 her double-bolt Q plus aura damage still wins the poke war. |
| Level 3 | Sona | Level 3 Sona keeps her ADC healthier with stacked auras. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sona | Levels 4-5 her poke and speed-ups continue to dictate the lane. |
| Level 6 | Sona | Level 6 Crescendo is a guaranteed lane-wide stun for a free all-in. |
| First item | Yuumi | At first item your completed AP flips the poke war in your favor. |
| Two+ items | Yuumi | Two items in your sustain and chip outscale Sona's squishy single-shot kit. |
Levels 1-5 are Sona's: her Q + Power Chord poke out-ranges and out-damages your empowered Q, and her aura passives keep her ADC healthier than yours. Don't try to win trades — attach, farm safe, and dodge her Power Chord autos. Respect that her E speed-up lets her dictate every engage. Her aura chip accumulates but never threatens an attached Yuumi, so stay on your carry and aim the missile steadily. Keep the heal-speed for the moment her carry commits, and let the wave state rather than a poke exchange be what actually decides the lane.
