How to beat Sion

Common role: Top

An unstoppable tank who charges across the map to knock up your whole team.

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
  名誉ある死

  サイオンは死亡後、体力が急速に減っていく状態で一時的に復活する。攻撃速度が飛躍的に上昇して通常攻撃で体力を回復するようになり、対象の最大体力に応じた追加ダメージを与える。

• Q
  破滅の斧

  サイオンが斧を振り上げ、力を溜めてから前方に振り下ろして、範囲内の敵すべてにダメージを与える。十分に力を溜めた状態で振り下ろすと、ダメージに加えて命中した敵がノックアップし、その後スタン状態になる。

  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
  魂の炉心

  サイオンがシールドを張り、時間が経過するか3秒たった後に再発動すると爆発して、周囲の敵に魔法ダメージを与える。また自動効果として、敵ユニットをキルするたびにサイオンの最大体力が増加する。

• E
  殺意の雄叫び

  サイオンが短射程の衝撃波を発射し、最初に命中した敵にダメージとスロウ効果を与え、さらに物理防御を低下させる。ミニオンおよび中立モンスターに当たった場合は長い距離をノックバックし、接触した敵すべてにダメージとスロウ効果を与え、さらに物理防御を低下させる。

• R
  猪突猛進

  サイオンが指定方向に突進し、時間とともに加速してゆく。突進中も、わずかに方向を制御できる。敵チャンピオンか壁に衝突すると停止し、敵チャンピオンの場合は突進距離に応じてダメージを与え、さらにノックアップする。

  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
