Playing as Sion

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Last-hit everything for max health

    Last-hit minions and monsters for Soul Furnace (W): each kill permanently gives you max health, more on champions, large minions and large monsters.

  2. Slow before your Smash

    Slow your target with Roar of the Slayer (E) before charging Decimating Smash (Q): they're less likely to get out of the area.

  3. Charge your Smash for at least 1 second

    Charge Decimating Smash (Q) for at least 1 second: below that, the hit only slows, and beyond it, the knock-up and stun last longer the more you charge.

  4. Keep hitting after you die

    After you die, hit the nearest champion: during Glory in Death (passive), your autos are much faster, heal you and deal damage based on their max health.

  5. Engage or roam from far away

    Cast Unstoppable Onslaught (R) from far away to engage or roam: unstoppable for 8 seconds, you stun longer and hit harder after a long charge.

Playing against Anivia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Sidestep her ice

    Dodge Flash Frost (Q) by stepping to the side: without the chill, Frostbite (E) doesn't double its damage.

  2. Play hard before she hits 6

    Push your wave and take trades before she hits level 6: without Glacial Storm (R), she struggles to clear the wave and can't hold an area.

  3. Drain her mana

    Force her to spend her mana: Flash Frost (Q) costs 80 to 100 mana, and Glacial Storm (R) drains some every second.

  4. Destroy the egg right away

    Focus the Rebirth (passive) egg as soon as it appears: if it hatches, she comes back to life at full health.
