Shield first, slow + armour reduction from ability 3, minimal Q for damage, recast ability 2 if the shield is still active

Mechanical Tips

  • Decimating Smash (Q) charge: Q deals significantly more damage and causes a knock-up when fully charged — a minimum of 2 seconds’ charge is required for the knock-up; in combat, start charging as soon as the enemy is CC’d by something else
  • Soul Furnace (2) passive: Ability 2 grants passive HP on monster/champion kills — these permanent HP stacks are Sion’s true strength in the late game
  • Soul Furnace recast: Ability 2 can be reactivated after 3 seconds to explode and deal damage — if the shield is destroyed beforehand, it will still be reactivated
  • Unstoppable Onslaught (Ult): Sion is unstoppable whilst the ultimate is charging — he can pass through the walls of certain areas [to be confirmed in WR]; stopping on a champion stuns nearby enemies

Common Mistakes

  • Q charged incorrectly: Releasing Q too early (< 2s charge) only deals damage without a knock-up — reposition to allow time to charge it fully
  • Ult without an ally to follow up: Unstoppable Onslaught engages brilliantly, but Sion cannot go all-in on his own — always use your ult when the team can follow up within the next second
  • Soul Furnace activated too late: activating the second ability after taking burst damage is sub-optimal — activate it at the START of the fight to have the maximum shield during the exchanges

Notable Interactions

  • Sion has a death mechanic: when his HP reaches 0, he temporarily rises as a zombie with his full attack speed and movement speed — use these seconds to auto-attack the enemy carry or run towards an objective
  • Roar of the Slayer (3) can bounce off minions/monsters — in lane, cast it on a minion with a champion behind it to slow both and reduce their armour
  • With Titanic Hydra and HP stacks from Soul Furnace, a fully charged Q can one-shot fragile carries

FAQ

How should I play Sion in Wild Rift?

Sion is generally played as Top. The first objective is to stack hp (heartsteel/overgrowth), targets grasp short trades. Its biggest edge comes from unstoppable long-range engagement (r).

When is Sion strongest?

Sion takes over in mid game: split with hullbreaker if free; otherwise group around objectives.

How do I punish Sion?

Sion can be punished when dodgeable/counterable by dashes and parries. A practical answer listed here is: Break his priority with short, unpredictable trades instead of walking into a charged Q.
