Who Wins
- You lose most early trades due to Sion's higher base damages and health pool, but your Q sustain allows you to weather the laning phase safely.
- Post-6, you become the stronger duelist with R amplifying your damage and providing the healing needed to win extended fights.
How to Trade
- Focus on short Q poke trades and immediately back off, using W to escape if Sion tries to extend with E-Q combo.
- Save your W for when Sion commits with E slow or charged Q, as these are his primary tools for forcing extended trades.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on last-hitting safely under tower while using Q to sustain back up.
- Once you have points in E, you can start to match Sion's push and look for opportunities to poke him down with Q-E combos.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use W aggressively for damage early in the lane, as you need it available to escape Sion's E-Q combo which can chunk you heavily.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or overextending without vision, as Sion's R ganks from fog of war can be lethal even if you have W available.
