How to win lane as Sion against Aurora · 50.28% win rate (1,762 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Build MR — charged Q her combo, W-shield.
Track: Aurora's W — Across the Veil (22–18s cooldown). Her escape. Q-stun before it.
Read from Sion's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sion | Aurora has no E blink at level 1 — a charged Decimating Smash from brush lands uncontested and sets the HP lead before she can contest. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | With The Weirding online she hops out of most charged-Q attempts; trade inside Soul Furnace windows and do not chase her hop across the lane. |
| Level 3 | Sion | Full kit online with E armor-shred setting up the charged Q — keep the wave on your side so she must walk into brush-charge range and cannot kite the telegraph. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sion | Track The Weirding's 15s and force short Soul Furnace detonation trades when it is down; when it is up, freeze and starve her of CS rather than engaging into the hop. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Between Worlds leaps her sideways and leaves a rift she teleports across, breaking your charge line — treat 6 as a standoff and bait it before you commit. |
| First item | Sion | Heartsteel completion is the turning point: HP passive compounding means your W-shield absorbs her burst and every Q-knockup trade tilts in your favor for the rest of the game. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Two items in, your HP total and zombie passive make you nearly unkillable in a sustained fight — force side-lane brawls on Twofold Hex's cooldown and let the passive threaten her even when she lands the kill. |
Level 1 is Sion's clearest window in this lane — Aurora has no E blink yet, so a charged Decimating Smash from brush is a half-HP knockup she cannot escape. The moment she hits level 2, every subsequent charge must come from fog or behind minion cover because she will simply E sideways through the telegraph if she sees it coming. Use Soul Furnace liberally to absorb her Q poke rather than trading HP directly; her burst beats you in short trades until you land a stun. Hold the wave near your side of the river so she is always walking toward brush you can charge from, not the other direction.
