How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Sona is strongest late game while Sylas peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.
Range Advantage
Sona has range advantage. Sylas 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.
Exploit Sylas's Weakness
Sylas's main weakness: Bad ults to steal, grievous wounds, early poke. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Sona Win Condition
Aura buffs scale, R stun, heal/shield spam late
Sylas Win Condition
Steal enemy ults, W heal sustain, burst combos
