Who Wins
- You win most 1v1s pre-6 due to your passive proc and sustained damage, though Sion can poke you down with Q from range early.
- Post-6 you dominate since R forces Sion into extended fights where he can't utilize his engage tools or escape your damage over time.
How to Trade
- Look to land E pull into Q for passive stacks, then chase with W shield active to proc your passive aura damage.
- Avoid trading when your passive is down since Sion can chunk you with Q and disengage before you can retaliate effectively.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively to deny Sion's Q charging opportunities and force him to last hit under tower where he's vulnerable.
- Maintain minion advantage to have more targets for your abilities and make your all-ins more threatening.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R on Sion when he has his passive ready, as he'll just die and continue fighting you as a zombie in Death Realm.
- Avoid fighting in narrow spaces where Sion can easily land max-charge Q since you have no mobility to dodge it.
