Key Interactions

If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned. cancels the Decimating SmashQ – Decimating SmashSion charges a powerful swing in an area in front of himself that will deal damage to enemies when released. charge: Sion needs the windup or the ability barely does anything; grab him from both sides while he charges and the stun cuts the cast short. A one-sided grab only slows, so line up the full pull when the angle allows it.
- Bushes are the one thing his lane kit needs: A charge started in brush arrives without warning, which is the logic behind Geishu's third-bush cheese at level 1 and the standing caution to avoid brush yourself. Deny the angle and Decimating SmashQ – Decimating SmashSion charges a powerful swing in an area in front of himself that will deal damage to enemies when released. has to wind up in the open.

Follow through with the last auto or true damage instead of turning away early.
Sett
Strengths
- Aggressive trades from level one - Sion's only lane threat is a fully telegraphed charge, and stepping on every walk-up denies him the free farm he wants
- HaymakerW – HaymakerSett passively stores damage he takes as Grit. On cast, Sett expends all stored Grit to gain a shield and punch an area, dealing true damage in the center and physical damage on the sides. cashes every chip hit and partial charge he lands as true damage through Grit
- Facebreaker's both-sided stun cancels Decimating SmashQ – Decimating SmashSion charges a powerful swing in an area in front of himself that will deal damage to enemies when released. outright if it catches the windup
Weaknesses
- No dash, so a Sion who lands a charge and backs off clean gives Grit nothing to hold onto
- A suplex that stops short of a real finisher can still eat a counter-hit from Glory in DeathP – Glory in DeathAfter being killed, Sion will temporarily reanimate with rapidly decaying Health. His attacks become very rapid, heal him, and deal bonus damage based on his target's maximum Health.
- Late-game duels thin out once his tank core completes, unless

Sion
Strengths
- A fully charged Decimating SmashQ – Decimating SmashSion charges a powerful swing in an area in front of himself that will deal damage to enemies when released. punishes anyone standing still near the wave
- Soul Furnace's on-kill health gain and a tank-itemized core make him hard to burst down once games run long
- Unstoppable OnslaughtR – Unstoppable OnslaughtSion charges in a direction, ramping up speed over time. He can steer his charge slightly with the mouse cursor location. closes distance from well outside auto range, or pulls him straight out of a losing fight
Weaknesses
- No real lane all-in besides the charge - Geishu's sheet reads every walk-up for a minion as a free FacebreakerE – FacebreakerSett pulls in all enemies on opposite sides of him, dealing damage and stunning them. If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned. punish
- The charge is a visible windup that a both-sided FacebreakerE – FacebreakerSett pulls in all enemies on opposite sides of him, dealing damage and stunning them. If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned. grab cancels before it lands
- Glory in DeathP – Glory in DeathAfter being killed, Sion will temporarily reanimate with rapidly decaying Health. His attacks become very rapid, heal him, and deal bonus damage based on his target's maximum Health. buys time, not survival - true damage or a finished suplex still closes out the kill

Sion's Win Condition

Laning Phase Guide
| Level/Phase | Sett | Sion |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Look for the third-bush setup at level 1. Two clean autos land before he can respond, and if he tries backing off, Facebreaker's pull drags him into one more hit. | Farms behind an uncharged Q; the fully charged version needs too long a windup to risk against a melee threat standing close. |
| Level 2 | Add whichever of FacebreakerE – FacebreakerSett pulls in all enemies on opposite sides of him, dealing damage and stunning them. If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned. or HaymakerW – HaymakerSett passively stores damage he takes as Grit. On cast, Sett expends all stored Grit to gain a shield and punch an area, dealing true damage in the center and physical damage on the sides. is missing; keep pressuring every walk-up he makes toward the wave. |
Starts charging Q for real damage, but the windup is still visible enough to punish before it lands. |
| Level 3 | Full combo online: FacebreakerE – FacebreakerSett pulls in all enemies on opposite sides of him, dealing damage and stunning them. If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned. grabs both sides, two Knuckle DownQ – Knuckle DownSett's next two attacks deal additional damage based off of the target's max health. Sett also gains Move Speed while moving towards enemy champions. autos land, HaymakerW – HaymakerSett passively stores damage he takes as Grit. On cast, Sett expends all stored Grit to gain a shield and punch an area, dealing true damage in the center and physical damage on the sides. cashes whatever Grit the trade banked. |
Full kit up, but nothing beats a Sett who steps on every CS walk-up; holds range and waits for a cleaner angle. |
| Level 4-5 | The walk-up punish doesn't change at this stage - keep landing it. Bank whatever Grit a partial charge feeds you and spend it before the four-second window runs out. | Looks to land one clean full-charge Q per wave rather than trade evenly - a hit here is worth more than the risk it costs. |
| Level 6 | The Show StopperR – The Show StopperSett carries an enemy champion through the air and slams them into the ground, dealing damage and slowing all enemies near where they land. adds the finisher to the 60% HP kill line: FacebreakerE – FacebreakerSett pulls in all enemies on opposite sides of him, dealing damage and stunning them. If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned., empowered punches, suplex, then one more auto through Glory in DeathP – Glory in DeathAfter being killed, Sion will temporarily reanimate with rapidly decaying Health.

| Level 9 | Max Knuckle DownQ – Knuckle DownSett's next two attacks deal additional damage based off of the target's max health. Sett also gains Move Speed while moving towards enemy champions. lands at 9 and every short trade starts hitting noticeably harder. Keep the wave shoved - his build is the only thing that closes this gap, so deny him the comfort of farming it slowly. |
Tankier by the level, but still without a second lane tool; leans on the wave and waits for teamfight relevance. |
