Who Wins

  • You lose early trades pre-6 due to Sion's superior base damage and Q poke, but can start winning extended fights post-6 once you have R and meaningful Q stacks.
  • The matchup shifts heavily in your favor after first item completion when your sustain and damage scaling kicks in.

How to Trade

  • Focus on short trades using W to slow Sion when he tries to engage with Q, then back off immediately to avoid his full combo.
  • Only commit to extended trades post-6 with R active when you can lifesteal through his damage and out-DPS him.

Wave Control

  • Freeze the wave near your tower early to safely farm Q stacks while avoiding Sion's poke and all-in potential.
  • Push hard only when Sion recalls or roams, as you need to maximize your stacking time rather than contest for priority.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to match Sion's early aggression or fight in his minion waves where his Q and E become much more threatening.
  • Avoid getting chunked by repeated E poke without proper sustain items, as this will force you out of lane and delay your scaling.
