Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Sion has no level-1 chase tool and Decimating Smash is easy to strafe — set up Poison Trail passes without committing to a duel. |
| Level 2 | Singed | Fling arrives and displaces Sion out of his own Decimating Smash cone — the first real punish window opens here. |
| Level 3 | Singed | Full kit online and Sion has no answer: root with W, Fling into the cloud, run the full Poison Trail lap while he stands stuck. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxying accelerates: Sion cannot follow you behind his tower and his slow walk speed means your Poison Trail gets free ticks every time he tries. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion's speed and regen make you hard to run down, but Unstoppable Onslaught lands too — 140s at rank 1, unstoppable, and it can cut off your retreat. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's Crystal Scepter locks Sion in Poison Trail permanently — his immobility and lack of dash mean the slow is a death sentence with no counterplay. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Sion's teamfight W explosion is his only remaining relevance — your side-lane 1v1 dominance is total, but respect his grouping potential and force map trades. |
At level 1 Sion's Decimating Smash is the only thing that matters — he will walk at you slowly and charge the knockup. Never run directly away from a charging Sion; strafe sideways so the cone misses, then trail Poison behind you as he lumbers past. You lose a straight stand-and-trade at level 1, but you never have to take that trade. Drop Poison Trail through him on every pass and reset at tower if his shield comes up.

Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Rylai's Crystal Scepter (perma-slow poison) first, then Riftmaker / Liandry's, with Sorcerer's Shoes.
