Sion Matchups Overview

Sion General information

Sion tips and tricks

When you’re in zombie mode, make sure you keep auto-attacking whatever you can to deal extra damage to towers, the enemy or even to pick up gold from minions.

Set up death bushes around the Baron or Dragon and try to catch out an enemy who wonders the river.

If you cannot use your Ultimate Unstoppable OnslaughtR to impact your own lane, you could recall and look to use it to assist either the mid or bot lane.
