How to win lane as Zyra against Sona · 51.38% win rate over 1,016 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Your level-1 E root threatens the squishy, escape-less Sona immediately. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | The level-2 plant all-in can outright kill her before she has defenses. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | At 3 your plant chip out-trades her weak single-target poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Through 4-5 you keep her shoved and punish every step-up. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | Your knock-up ult out-flips her in a straight 2v2 at 6. |
| First item | Zyra | First item plant DPS shreds her low health and keeps her starved. |
| Two+ items | Sona | Two-plus items: Sona's auras and Crescendo scale to out-value you late. |
You crush the early lane: Sona has no mobility and paper-thin health, so your level-1 E root and level-2 plant all-in threaten a kill she cannot escape, and you out-trade her weak single-target poke every time.
