Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sion | Sion shoves with E and a charged Q threatens a knockup before you have a kite chain — concede level 1 and just farm Blooming Blows from range. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | Your second Q sweetspot plus the E slow starts the Dream Dust burn, and Q move speed makes you uncatchable for an immobile tank stepping up to CS. |
| Level 3 | Lillia | With the DoT layering and stacking move speed you kite him freely — every walk-up to last-hit costs him max-HP burn he can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Full-rank Blooming Blows plus the compounding DoT is your peak window — his W shield can't soak a sustained burn and he can never reach you. |
| Level 6 | Lillia | Lilting Lullaby sleeps him off a Dream Dust setup for a pick, and your kite still beats a tank whose only catch is a slow charged Q you can sidestep. |
| First item | Even / skill | Even — his charged Q knockup can catch your kite and his W shield blunts a trade, but you still out-chip him if he can't land it, so it hinges on the Q. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Two tank items plus his zombie passive let him shrug your DoT in fights and a fog-charged Q deletes your squishy body — pivot to roams and picks instead. |
Level 1 is his — Roar of the Slayer shoves the wave and a charged Q threatens a knockup before you have a kite chain, so farm Blooming Blows from range and concede the opening. At 2-3 it flips: the second Q sweetspot plus the Swirlseed slow starts the Dream Dust burn, and stacking move speed makes you uncatchable for an immobile tank. Only a fully charged Q catches you — a short charge is damage, nothing more — so read the wind-up length, never stand still in front of it, and let the burn tick.
