What makes Sion dangerous
Sion charges up a knock-up stun (Q), a shield-slam (W), and his ultimate is an unstoppable charge across the map that knocks up and stuns everyone he crashes into. On death his passive lets him keep fighting as a raging zombie. He's a hard-engage frontline that starts fights from screens away.
How to play against Sion
- 1Dodge his charged Q — the longer he charges, the longer the stun. Sidestep it and interrupt him if you can.
- 2His ultimate is a wide unstoppable charge — sidestep to the flank so he can't line it up on your team, and it can be steered but not stopped.
- 3On death he becomes a temporary zombie — don't waste focus on the passive form; back off and let it expire.
- 4Low personal damage as a tank — % health and magic damage beat his armor, and kiting avoids his short-range slam.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Charged Q and ult are dodgeable/steerable-only.
- ✓Low damage outside his combo — a peel/engage tank.
- ✓% health and magic damage beat his armor.
- ✓Zombie passive is temporary — don't feed it focus.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Sion's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Ruhm im TodeNach seinem Tod wird Sion kurzzeitig reanimiert, allerdings fällt sein Leben rapide ab. Seine Angriffe werden extrem schnell, heilen ihn und verursachen zusätzlichen Schaden, der vom maximalen Leben des Ziels abhängt.
Q
Dezimierender SchlagSion holt zu einem kräftigen Hieb aus, der alle Gegner vor ihm trifft und Schaden verursacht, sobald er ihn ausführt. Wenn er weit genug ausholen kann, werden getroffene Gegner zusätzlich in die Luft geschleudert und betäubt.
Strong: a charged knock-up stun — the longer the charge, the longer the stun. Weak: dodge it and interrupt the charge if you can.
W
SeelenschmelzeSion schirmt sich selbst ab und kann die Fähigkeit 3 Sekunden später erneut einsetzen, um nahen Gegnern magischen Schaden zuzufügen. Wenn Sion Gegner tötet, erhält er passiv maximales Leben.
E
Brüllen des SchlächtersSion feuert eine Schockwelle mit kurzer Reichweite ab, die Schaden am ersten getroffenen Gegner verursacht, diesen außerdem verlangsamt und seine Rüstung verringert. Trifft die Schockwelle einen Vasallen oder ein Monster, werden sie zurückgeschleudert und verlangsamen Gegner in ihrem Weg, fügen ihnen Schaden zu und verringern deren Rüstung.
R
Unaufhaltbarer AnsturmSion stürmt in eine Richtung los, wobei er immer schneller wird. Die Laufrichtung kann mit dem Cursor leicht verändert werden. Wenn er mit einem Gegner zusammenstößt, schleudert er diesen hoch und fügt ihm Schaden abhängig von seiner zurückgelegten Distanz zu.
Strong: an unstoppable map-wide charge that knocks up and stuns whoever he hits. Weak: sidestep to the flank — it can be steered but not stopped, so don't line up in front of it.
Itemization
Sion is a hard-engage tank. Play % health and magic damage, dodge his charged Q and steer clear of his ult's line, and don't waste damage on his death passive. Kite and focus his carries.
