Who Wins

  • You lose early trades pre-6 due to Sion's superior base damage and Q poke, but you start winning all-ins post-6 when your R gives you the stats to outduel him.
  • Level 2 E max gives you some trading power, but Sion's W shield and Q damage still favor him in short exchanges.

How to Trade

  • You want to E onto him when his Q is on cooldown, then immediately W-auto and Q away to avoid his W detonation and potential E follow-up.
  • Never try to extended trade without your E up since he'll just Q you and win the trade with his superior base damages.

Wave Control

  • You should freeze the wave near your tower early to force him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to ganks and your E-W-Q combo.
  • Avoid pushing into him pre-6 since he can easily Q the wave and establish lane priority while poking you out.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to fight him in extended trades without your ultimate, as his W shield and Q damage will win most early skirmishes.
  • Never engage when his Q is charged up, as the knockup into his full combo will chunk you heavily and potentially set up jungle ganks.
