Sion
Champions that beat Sion
- Aniviamid
Crystallize (W) wall blocks the Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charge path entirely. Glacial Storm (R) chilled plus Frostbite (E) shreds the Soul Furnace (W) shielded HP before he can resolve the Decimating Smash (Q) channel.
- Camilletop
The Hextech Ultimatum (R) pins Sion where he stands, so Unstoppable Onslaught (R) cannot carry him back to his team, and Hookshot (E) cancels the Decimating Smash (Q) charge. Nothing in your kit scales with his health pool, so you win on position, not on burst.
- Fioratop
Riposte (W) parries Decimating Smash (Q) on the charge windup and stuns Sion back. Grand Challenge (R) Vital procs deal percent-HP true damage that scales on max HP — exactly what Sion stacks — and Lunge (Q) plus Bladework (E) keep her sticking outside Q range.
- Gnartop
Boomerang Throw (Q) pokes Sion out of CS from outside Decimating Smash (Q) range, and Hop (E) plus Hyper (W) move-speed kite the slow Q windup. Mega Gnar GNAR! (R) knock-up cancels Sion's Q charge cleanly when he closes the gap.
- Heimerdingertop
Decimating Smash (Q) windup telegraphs his commit; Soul Furnace (W) shield is broken before the engage reaches Heimer. CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E) stun interrupts the Q charge; Unstoppable Onslaught (R) is hard to aim, so stepping aside sends him into the turrets.
- Jaxtop
Decimating Smash (Q) has a long windup that Counter Strike comfortably covers, and Roar of the Slayer (E) does not interrupt the dodge stance. Once the AOE stun lands on the recast, Sion has no dash to leave and Jax stacks Relentless Assault for free.
- Kog'Mawbot
Soul Furnace (W) HP stacking is Sion's core strength — Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) deals % max HP magic damage on every auto, melting his stacked HP faster than the shield refunds.
- Lilliajungle
Soul Furnace (W) HP stacking gets shredded by Liandry's Torment plus Dream-Laden Bough (P) passive max-HP burn — Sion's massive HP pool melts faster than the shield refunds.
- Olaftop
Ragnarok cleanses Sion's Decimating Smash knock-up at the moment of impact, denying him the lock his engage needs. The Roar of the Slayer slow is ignored under the same immunity, so Sion cannot peel Olaf off the target he chose.
- Oriannamid
Sion telegraphs his Decimating Smash channel from a long windup, giving Orianna time to park the Ball on his team's stacking spot. Command: Shockwave pulls all his teammates clumped behind Sion's engage.
- Smolderbot
Super Scorcher Breath (Q) 225-stack evolution deals true damage based on max HP, and Sion's Glory in Death passive HP pool plus Soul Furnace (W) stack make him a bigger trophy. Decimating Smash (Q) is a 2-second charge that Achooo! (W) interrupts before the stun lands.
- Trundletop
Subjugate (R) drains Sion's stacked HP and resists during the Glory in Death (R) revive window, and Chomp (Q) is an empowered attack that saps Attack Damage for 5s. Pillar of Ice (E) blocks the Decimating Smash (Q) walk-up and Unstoppable Onslaught (R) trajectory.
- Twitchbot
Sion's Glory in Death passive reanimates him with rapidly decaying health. Contaminate E per-stack burst plus Lord Dominik's Regards turn his bar into a free target, Spray and Pray R chains across his Unstoppable Onslaught R charge.
- Urgottop
Urgot W Purge out-DPSes Decimating Smash (Q) wind-up because Sion has to charge for ~2 seconds while Purge fires three shots a second. E Disdain's 1.5-second stun cancels Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charge mid-roll, and Q Corrosive Charge slow keeps him inside the Purge cone.
- Vaynebot
Silver Bolts (W) third-hit max-HP true damage scales with Sion's massive HP pool from Soul Furnace (W) shield stacks, melting through his armor. Tumble (Q) repositions out of Decimating Smash (Q) and Condemn (E) stuns him into the wall during Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charge.
- Viktormid
Sion telegraphs stacking on his Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charge, so Viktor steers Arcane Storm (R) onto the cluster for ten seconds of AOE damage. Gravity Field (W) stuns him during Decimating Smash (Q) wind-up and Hextech Ray (E) chunks through Soul Furnace (W) shield stacks.
Champions Sion beats
- Aurelion Solmid
Soul Furnace (W) shield soaks Breath of Light (Q) channel chip damage. Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charges in from far off-screen to interrupt the channel, and Roar of the Slayer (E) slows ASol and shreds his armour before Falling Star (R) lands.
- Fizzmid
Decimating Smash (Q) charge cancels Urchin Strike (Q) commit on impact. Roar of the Slayer (E) slows and chips him out of the Playful/Trickster (E) landing window, and Glory in Death (P) zombie passive revives at 0 HP through Chum the Waters (R) burst window.
- Heimerdingermid
Decimating Smash (Q) wind-up one-shots a cluster of three turrets through their HP pool; Soul Furnace (W) shield plus HP stack tanks Hextech Micro-Rockets (W) poke. Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charge ignores CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E) stun timing.
- Jinxbot
Jinx has no dash and Flame Chompers! (E) is a slow-arming AOE root that does not save her from a global engage. Unstoppable Onslaught (R) from top side into bot lane deletes her positioning, and Roar of the Slayer (E) slow chains for a guaranteed Decimating Smash (Q) stun.
- Kennentop
Glory in Death (P) zombie state lets Sion fight Kennen after death — Mark of the Storm (P) 3-stack stun still hits but Soul Furnace (W) shield absorbs the W detonate. Decimating Smash (Q) charge stuns Kennen out of position before Slicing Maelstrom (R) can tick on anyone.
- Kindredjungle
Soul Furnace (W) shield absorbs Mounting Dread (E) three-attack chain damage, and Glory in Death (P) zombie state lets Sion fight Kindred after death. Decimating Smash (Q) charge stuns Kindred during Dance of Arrows (Q) recovery, and Unstoppable Onslaught (R) ganks her cross-map.
- Renektontop
Renekton needs Slice and Dice (E) double-dash to commit and Cull the Meek (Q) heal stalls on a stacked Sion HP pool. Soul Furnace (W) shield eats the Ruthless Predator (W) stun trade, and Decimating Smash (Q) charge interrupts the Slice and Dice (E) re-cast window.
- Riventop
Riven's lane plan is the all-in Broken Wings (Q) Ki Burst (W) combo at level 2-3. Soul Furnace (W) shield eats the Q1 step burst plus Valor (E) shield trade, and Decimating Smash (Q) full-charge stun catches her between cancel-step animations before Ki Burst lands.
- Sylasmid
Abscond/Abduct (E) dashes Sylas into melee range and Chain Lash (Q) AOE needs him stationary mid-cast. Decimating Smash (Q) full-charge stun ignores the E1 dash and catches him on the cast, and Sion's stacked HP from Glory in Death (R) beats Kingslayer (W) heal scaling.
- Yasuomid
Wind Wall (W) only blocks projectiles, and Decimating Smash (Q) is body-contact damage that goes through it. What cancels the charge is the Steel Tempest (Q3) knock-up, which no shield stops: hold Q until he spends his two stacks, then Roar of the Slayer (E) slow holds him.
