How to win lane as K'Sante against Sion · 47.55% win rate over 1,407 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sion | Sion's E shield-break poke outranges your single Q stack and you have no engage with only Q — you concede the level and farm. |
| Level 2 | Sion | He keeps poking with E from range while your Q-W combo is still offline; you can't punish him yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your full Q-W combo arrives — you can W a committed Sion to eat his knockup and Q3 him back, evening the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | It's a tank standoff: you trade around his charged Q and W shield, but his E poke keeps it a coinflip, not a win. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out's dash-through survives his charged Q knockup and an immobile Sion can't escape your duelist 1v1 — your one clear spike. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first tank-engage item makes you durable and disruptive, but his HP scaling and E poke keep the lane even. |
| Two+ items | Sion | His zombie passive and raw HP scaling win the extended tank fight — your armor stacking does nothing to a champ who just out-bulks you. |
Sion owns the first two levels here — his E shield-break poke hits from outside your short Q range and you have no engage threat at Level 1 with only Q, so just farm and eat a little chip. Do NOT walk in to throw a single Q stack into his E poke; you lose that exchange every time. The lane turns at Level 3 when your full Q-W combo comes online: if he steps up or starts charging a Q, W into him to negate the knockup and Q3 to knock him up yourself.
