Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
This is Renekton's own plan; across 2,277 pooled games the lane is leaning Sion.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Sion has a slow autoattack animation and no level-1 dash — your Q farms safely. Do not extend into his E range or let him softback-charge a Q on the first wave. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | E in, empowered W before his Decimating Smash channel completes, then Q-heal: the stun-charge race is decided in your favor every time you land this sequence first. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | Full kit online — your E lets you dodge his full-channel Q by passing through him mid-dash, turning his biggest threat into a missed opportunity that puts him on a long cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | He cannot run, and empowered W destroys damage shields — 50 fury deletes Soul Furnace outright instead of chipping it down. Keep trades short and bank the health gap. |
| Level 6 | Renekton | Dominus Fury ramp gives back-to-back empowered Ws — engage while Soul Furnace is on cooldown and the extra HP buffer absorbs his Q if it lands. This is your most reliable kill window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Sundered Sky / Stride Breaker spike keeps pace with his building resistances for now — force extended all-ins because Q-sustain outheals his E poke, but do not overextend into his tower. |
| Two+ items | Sion | His stacking HP passive and full tank itemization turn your burst into tickle damage. Stop trying to solo-kill and use your W-stun to create picks on carries instead. |
At level 1 Sion can walk up and auto you — respect that he has range advantage when his E (Roar of the Slayer) can slow and shred your shield at level 1; just farm with Q tip and do not burn E yet. The moment you hit level 2, slice in with E, immediately lock the empowered W-stun before he can start charging Decimating Smash, then Q-heal through any retaliation — one clean trade shoves him under tower and sets the lane. At level 3 all three abilities are live: his only real threat is a charged Q knockup, so watch for him planting his feet and charging up; if you see it, dash through him with E (you pass through the hitbox) or bait the channel then E away.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (burst + early bully curve) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
