Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillEven start — Sion's charged Q is his only threat and you keep Skaarl's health full, so trade for last-hits and set up your level-2 spike.
Level 2KledW comes online for the on-hit shotgun shots — your first real all-in lands before his W shield or charged Q can punish it.
Level 3KledFull re-E (E-W-E) with Bear Trap Q bursts him through his W shield while he has no mobility to escape your yank.
Levels 4-5KledYour percent-max-HP Q plus remount sustain out-trade an immobile tank stacking health — keep forcing short trades.
Level 6KledR adds a charge engage and gank-extension Sion can't match, letting you force kills or roam off the lead.
First itemKledEclipse/Sheen procs plus percent-HP Q peak here — he is least tanky relative to you, so all-in repeatedly.
Two+ itemsSionHe out-scales: stacked health and the zombie passive soak your burst and his shield-break poke wins fights — close before he is full tank.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Sion has no kill pressure on you early — his Q needs a long charge to knock up, so respect it but don't fear his pokes. Level 1 is roughly even: you keep Skaarl's health topped and last-hit, he charges Q for farm. The moment you hit 2 you flip it — W gives the on-hit shotgun shots and your re-E (E through, W, E back) shreds him before his W shield or charged Q can answer. Bait the charged Q with a wide step, then commit; if you eat the knockup mid-E your whole all-in dies.
