Hymn of Valor plus a charged Power Chord is a real trade every few seconds, and Deathfire Grasp turns that poke pattern into an execute a carry cannot survive.

In poke lanes. Sona's Q costs little and her passive makes every auto after it free damage, so the lane is won before the item ever comes online.
Against engage. She is the least mobile support in the mode, and a build with no Aegis, no Shurelya's and no defensive item means the first stun on her ends the fight.
Not modelled in this number: Summoner's Insight, Meditation, Mastermind.
