Taliyah vs Sona Matchup Summary

Taliyah dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Sona players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Farming
1.9Taliyah
0.9Sona
Taliyah significantly out-farms Sona by 0.9 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 14 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
797Taliyah
271Sona
Taliyah heavily out-damages Sona by 526 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Sona should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Taliyah's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,633Taliyah
9,375Sona
Taliyah generates a commanding 1,258 more gold per game than Sona. This substantial economic advantage means Taliyah consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.4Taliyah
0.5Sona
Taliyah brings significantly more crowd control than Sona, with 1.0 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Taliyah far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Sona should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
426Taliyah
1,392Sona
Sona vastly out-sustains Taliyah, healing and mitigating 966 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Sona can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Taliyah is forced to recall.
