Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are even and slow — Sion's charged Q is his only real threat, so respect the wind-up and don't stand in the AoE when it detonates. Neither of you wants to commit before level 3; farm cleanly and watch his mana. If he throws Q on the wave to shove, step up and last-hit safely rather than eating a full-charge knockup.
