Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 with Q poke and your passive shield absorbing Sion's damage.
- At level 6, you lose all-in potential as Sion's ultimate gives him superior engage and kill pressure if you're caught out of position.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when your passive is up, then back away to let it regenerate before the next trade.
- Use W to reduce his damage when he commits to trades, and save E for when he tries to all-in you.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to deny Sion farm and force him to overextend for CS.
- Use Q to poke him down while maintaining the freeze, making him vulnerable to jungle ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste mana on unnecessary Q pokes when you could be saving it for waveclear or crucial trades.
- Avoid fighting Sion when your passive shield is down, and never get caught in the open after level 6 where his ultimate can catch you without escape options.
