How to win lane as Sion against Aurora · 50.28% win rate over 1,762 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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 E online Aurora sidesteps most charged-Q attempts; trade only inside Soul Furnace windows and avoid burning E chasing her 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 Twofold Hunt cooldown and force short W-shield detonation trades when it is down; when it is up, freeze and starve her of CS rather than engaging into the blink. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Aurora's R gives her a sideways repositioning blink that breaks Unstoppable Onslaught tracking — treat level 6 as a standoff and bait her R before committing your own. |
| 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 Hunt'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.
