Vel'Koz vs Sona

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range (Q) poke angles to pressure Sona and deny her ADC easy trades.
Control side brush to prevent Sona from landing (R) engage or poke from fog.
Enable your ADC's follow-up by layering (Q) slows and holding (E) for peel or knockup.

Trading pattern

Use split (Q) to avoid minion block and create poke windows when (R) is down.
Hold (E) to peel for your ADC against Sona's empowered autos and (R) stun.
Punish Sona's low mobility by engaging through side brush with ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect (R) stun at level 6 as it can interrupt your channel and enable enemy all-ins.
Avoid standing near brush without vision to prevent surprise (R) engages or poke from Sona.
Beware of Sona empowered autos combined with her (W) sustain enabling her ADC's follow-up damage.

Early game

Win the level 2 poke race by combining (Q) slow and (E) knockup with your ADC's damage.
Deny Sona brush control early to reduce her engage and poke angles.
Crash waves with your ADC before roaming to keep lane priority and protect your ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(E) combo for strong poke and knockup, pressuring Sona's fragile early lane.
Level 3 completes your poke pattern; use brush control to maximize poke and deny Sona's sustain.
Level 6 (R) laser burst can finish slowed or knocked-up targets; coordinate with ADC for all-ins.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Use brush and river vision control to create safe engage angles and protect your ADC.
Roam post-wave crash with ADC safety to impact mid and secure dragon vision for objective control.
