Passive, spells and ultimate

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 Urgot

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Circle your target

    Move around your target between autos: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing them, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Mark your target before Purge

    Hit your target with Corrosive Charge (Q) or Disdain (E) before Purge (W): the chain gun prioritizes the marked champion, and each shot can trigger your legs.

  3. Throw them toward your tower

    Cast Disdain (E) on an enemy who comes near your tower: the first champion hit is stunned and thrown behind you, and you gain a shield.

  4. Save your ult for a sure kill

    Save Fear Beyond Death (R) for an enemy sure to die, especially one who's fleeing: below 25% max health, you can drag them in to execute them, and their nearby allies are feared.

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.
