| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | You own L1 — Sion's slow, telegraphed kit can't answer your Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At L2 you keep dodging his charged Q while chipping him down. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | L3 is even as his W shield and Q stun give him a brief trading window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | By 4-5 your empowered Q burns through his shield and wins trades. |
| Level 6 | Yone | At 6 you dash his telegraphed R with E and punish the lock. |
| First item | Yone | On first item you out-DPS his Soul Furnace shield and all-in. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late you out-carry Sion in any duel and kite his engages freely. |
Levels 1-2 are yours — Sion is one of the slowest, most telegraphed laners and you simply poke him with Q and dodge his wind-up Q. His only real threat early is a landed charged Decimating Smash, so respect the stun timing and keep moving.
