The Rise of Sona and Lux in Season 10 Explained by Riot Games
The Sona and Lux bottom lane duo has been gaining popularity in tournaments worldwide. Riot Games has released a video explaining why this pairing works so well in season 10.
Spellthief’s Edge for Both Champions
Both Sona and Lux should start with Spellthief’s Edge. This combination works because both champions scale exceptionally well with gold and receive significant power boosts once they acquire their core items.
Buff and Nerf Effects
The increased popularity of this bottom lane combination is due to the buff of Spellthief’s Edge in patch 10.15 and the nerf to the Guardian Keystone in 10.12. The change to Spellthief’s Edge activates after any damage is dealt, making it more effective.
Weaknesses and Counter Picks
While the Sona and Lux lane has its strengths, it also has weaknesses. Early on, both champions are vulnerable due to low health. Effective counter picks include Pyke, Bard, and Blitzcrank. These champions can roam from the lane early and create advantages elsewhere on the map, or single out a champion for early kills.
