Glory in Death (P)

After being killed, Sion will temporarily reanimate with rapidly decaying Health. His attacks become very rapid, heal him, and deal bonus damage based on his target's maximum Health.

Playing as Jayce

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke through your gate

    In cannon form, fire Shock Blast (Q) through Acceleration Gate (E) from the start of lane: the orb gains speed, range and damage, and it's your best poke.

  2. All-in with the hammer

    To all-in, switch to hammer: leap in with To the Skies! (Q), activate Lightning Field (W), then knock your target back with Thundering Blow (E).

  3. Auto after every swap

    Land an auto after each weapon swap: switching to Mercury Cannon (R) reduces your target's armor and magic resist, and your first hammer hit deals bonus magic damage.

  4. Swap weapons to escape

    To escape, swap weapons then walk through Acceleration Gate (E): Hextech Capacitor (passive) and the gate each give you move speed.

Playing against Sion

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave his Smash area

    Leave the area while he charges Decimating Smash (Q): past 1 second of charge, the hit applies a knock-up and a stun, for up to 2.25 seconds.

  2. Break his shield

    Break the Soul Furnace (W) shield before he detonates it: he can only trigger it if the shield still holds.

  3. Dodge his charge sideways

    Step to the side of Unstoppable Onslaught (R): he turns poorly once it's launched, and his charge stops on the first champion hit.

  4. Back off when he comes back to life

    Back off as soon as he dies: during Glory in Death (passive), his autos are much faster and deal damage based on your max health, but his health drains fast.
