How to Play This Matchup
1
Early Aggression
Shaco needs to punish Sona before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Sona reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.
2
Mixed Resistances
Shaco deals AD damage while Sona deals AP. Build resistances accordingly — don't stack the wrong type.
4
Range Advantage
Sona has range advantage. Shaco should look for short trades when Sona uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
5
Exploit Shaco's Weakness
Shaco's main weakness: Falls off late, team needs to play around boxes, squishy. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
6
Shaco Win Condition
Early cheese ganks, box traps, clone mind games
7
Sona Win Condition
Aura buffs scale, R stun, heal/shield spam late
