Sona vs Pyke Counter Pick

Difficulty computes as even for this pairing, and the record stays close to that reading: 48.3% for Sona across 895 games on patch 16.13.1. What tips it is Death From Below, which blinks Pyke to low health enemies, executes them and can be cast again after a successful kill. Sona finishes on 2,097 health, the kind of total that sits inside execute thresholds for longer than most.

Everything before that is setup. Bone Skewer either stabs forward or pulls an enemy in, Phantom Undertow leaves a phantom that returns to him and stuns along its path, and Ghostwater Dive puts him into camouflage with decaying bonus movement speed. Gift of the Drowned Ones regenerates damage he has recently taken while hidden, and it also stops him gaining extra maximum health from items, which is why his 670 base health and 37 armor carry more weight than usual. His damage is physical, so the 26 armor she starts on is the resistance that matters and the one enchanter builds tend to skip, and he moves at 330 against her 325. Sona answers with distance and vision: 550 attack range against 150, Song of Celerity to leave the stun path, and Crescendo held for the moment he commits rather than spent on a wave. Her 4 difficulty against his 7 means the errors in this matchup are usually his.
