| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | You favour L1 — Sion's Q needs charge time, so you win the early auto exchanges and dictate pace. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even at L2 — Sion's poke and slow-build survivability roughly match your pressure before his combo. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Even at L3 — his charged Q threatens but your Q heal keeps trades even; it's about dodging the smash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sion | Sion favours 4-5 — a charged Q knockup into E poke gives him the trade and gank setup. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | You favour L6 — Undying Rage negates his burst and Bloodlust heals the exchange. |
| First item | Tryndamere | You favour first item — crit shreds him faster than he stacks armour and you can lock him with W. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | You favour 2+ items — you out-DPS and out-splitpush; his zombie passive is his only comeback tool. |
Level 1-2 you have the initiative — Sion's Q needs charge time and you can auto him between his last-hits. Don't stand in an obvious wind-up, but you set the tempo before his combo comes online.
