Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior poke and sustained damage, as your Q outranges Sion's abilities and you can kite around his telegraphed Q.
- Post-6 you maintain the advantage since your R provides better skirmishing power than his engage-focused ultimate.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves poking with Q while maintaining distance, then committing to extended trades when Sion misses his Q or uses it on minions.
- Use W to absorb his damage and E to slow his retreat, maximizing your heat management for sustained DPS.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish lane priority and deny Sion's passive farming, but avoid overextending past river without vision.
- Maintain a slow push or freeze when ahead to zone him from CS while staying safe from ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W defensively against his poke - save it for when he commits with Q or receives jungle assistance.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where his Q can hit both you and minions simultaneously, reducing your damage advantage.
