Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 4.1% popularity, Sona constantly encounters meta-dominant Milio (8.7%, 5th place out of 51 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Sona performance in the current patch. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Sona's impressive 52.7% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Milio presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (56.8% win rate) plus optimal itemization Echoes of Helia, Moonstone Renewer, Archangel's Staff, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 47.2% to 79.6% - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Sona's superior warding (0.95 wards/min, 16th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Sona outputs more damage (373 vs 190/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Milio: leads in both matchup win rate (52.8%) and KDA (3.80 vs 3.10, 2nd vs 8th place). Sona players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Milio as Sona (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Sona deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Milio deals primarily magic damage (80.56%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Sona is superior vision control (ranked 16th among supports) (versus 42nd for Milio), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.8 versus 3.1) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Sona Support versus Milio Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Sona player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Milio player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Playing Against Milio

  • Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Milio.
  • Catching Milio with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.
