Shaco vs Sona Matchup Summary

The Shaco vs Sona matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 34 recent matches analyzed, Sona wins with a 64.7% win rate compared to Shaco's 35.3%, giving Sona a 29.4 percentage point advantage. Sona dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Shaco players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sona leads by 831 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sona has a strong advantage in this matchup. Shaco players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Sona overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
