When the enemy mixes physical and magic damage and locks you down often

Six items, none of them carrying Attack Damage or Ability Power, add up to +1150 Max Health, +220 Armor, +215 Magic Resistance and +30% Tenacity. Unending Despair deals 3% of your max HP as magic damage to nearby champions every 4 seconds while you are in combat with a champion, and heals you for 250% of that damage. Amaranth's Twinguard gains a stack of Endurance every second while in combat with enemy champions; at five stacks both AR and MR go up by 30%. The longer a fight drags on, the harder you are to kill.

Sion Strengths

  • Max HP that keeps scaling with every kill through the passive
  • Revives briefly after death and keeps fighting
  • Long-range forced engage with Ult

Sion Weaknesses

  • ×Slow, telegraphed skills that nimble enemies can dodge
  • ×Struggles against percent-HP damage and armor penetration
  • ×Low mobility, so kiting leaves him unable to reach targets

Early Game

Sion is surprisingly fragile early, so avoid forced fights. Clear waves safely with a charged Skill 1 and Skill 3. You can also lean on the passive revive and take even trades to pressure your opponent.

Mid Game

Your passive keeps raising your max HP as you kill minions. Keep farming, and use Ult (Unstoppable Onslaught) to roam quickly to mid lane. This is the phase to land surprise engages and pick up kills.

Late Game

By the late game you are a very durable, oversized tank. Split push a side lane to draw attention, and escape with Ult even when several enemies collapse on you. Making the enemy spend that time is what makes Sion's macro hard to deal with.

Teamfights

Start the fight with an Ult charge from out of vision. Fully charge Skill 1 in the middle of the enemy team for the knock-up. Even if you die, keep hitting their carry during the passive revive to break their formation.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Charging Skill 1 in plain sight

If you charge Skill 1 while the enemy can see you, they simply walk away or interrupt it with CC. Start the charge from a bush, out of vision. That gives them no time to react and makes the knock-up far easier to land. Your level 5 Ult engages also succeed far more often when started outside enemy vision.

Sion Combos

Basic Combo

Slow and shred armor with Skill 3, then charge Skill 1 to knock them up.
