If she's good she will dodge your abilities and rek you.

The slows are super helpful. You hit Q every time unless they have a dash.

Champion Build Guide
My philosophy is, 'if you get health for free why pay for it'. Sion gets lots of health naturally from his W passive, so it doesn't make sense to buy more. Instead, buying damage and juggernaut items turns Sion into a damage dealing powerhouse. At full build you will likely have 7k or more health, and you are dealing huge amounts of damage on your R, Q, and basic attacks. So don't buy that


I hope you enjoy my guide.



Not buying boots speeds up Sion's item powerspikes by 1100 Gold.
That being said, if you need


Never bother with Gromp. He only gives 15 extra life and is harder to kill. Wolves give 23 life. Birds give 35 life. Krugs give 51 life.
Sion has several strengths as a jungler. He has strong early damage, and a healthy early clear. He also has several weaknesses. He has low MS, which slows his clear, and finds it hard to gank pre lvl 6.
Start by building


Your first full item is

At 1.5k gold after Ghostblade the enemy team are getting their items and you start to feel like a glass cannon. Upgrading to

Next start building



The next two items can be flexed, depending on if teamfights have started or not.



As mentioned above,

The last item to be built is


Before level 6, to gank you rely on hitting your E on a pushing enemy laner. If you hit E you should be able to land Q or burn a flash. If you land Q they probably die, and if they burn flash you are happy anyway. But if you miss E or the enemy is under tower there isn't much you can do.
Pre level 6 the best thing you can do is farm Krugs and counter gank. While ganking is hard, counter ganking is easy as long as you are near the lane. You will likely get a kill off of a counter gank because the enemy team will chase your laner into your E Q combo. Ignite and Smite as necessary, and you have yourself a kill.
Try not to miss your ult tho, or you will look like a total idiot.
As Sion you shouldn't KS. If the enemy is going to die just E them to prevent them from escaping and let your laner take the kill. But on a successful gank don't be shy about taking the kill. Its okay if your laner gets it, but you need gold to finish your items.
