Sion Matchups Overview

Sion General information

Sion tips and tricks

While in zombie mode, make sure you auto-attack as much as you can. Whether you’re hitting the enemy or last hitting minions, do something while you’re still “alive!”

It may be unlikely you will get kills in the mid-lane. Don’t be afraid to use your Ultimate Unstoppable OnslaughtR to help your allies or assist your Jungler.

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