Hey man cool guide. Wanted to ask something, what are the advantages of taking ghost over flash? And why would you take it, to me it seems it could only be good for escaping and chasing someone to kill them with sunfire later on.

Thanks! Yeah ghost can be great, given the right circumstances. I've been noticing some high elo Sion mains take ghost every game, while others take flash every game. It's mostly preference. People are starting to realize that ghost is a great option as well now.

Flash is great because it's versatile and easy to use. It is obviously best for dodging a single ability or getting over walls, etc. It is also great for comboing with abilities such as E or R, though flash combos aren't particularly useful for Sion compared to some other champions.

Ghost is great for more specific reasons and is less versatile in my opinion. The best arguments for ghost are that it is a shorter cooldown, lasts a long time, and it scales with level. It is ideal for extended fights and trades, allowing you to stick to opponants in situations where they would normally outrun you. It is also great for teamfights because it lasts a long time and the duration is extended on takedowns. I find it to be incredibly useful when freezing the enemy minion wave at your tower. Once the enemy comes up to farm, (assuming you are stronger than them) you can throw an E at them and Ghost to run them down and kill them. They have to run all the way back to their tower and can't outrun you.

Overall, I suggest trying them both out and see which you think works best for you. Ghost is a bit more of an aggressive option and will work better with more aggressive builds. Flash is more versatile and safe. There's never a bad game to take flash in. Taking ghost can make you especially vulnerable against certain Junglers who need to land a skill shot on you, like Elise, so you'll have to be more observant of the enemy jungler and react quickly.

i would suggest removing glacial from the tank part. It doesnt work on sion anymore

I think you're right but I do think it has some use cases for tank Sion, even top lane. I should definitely lower it in priority compared to the other options. I think it could be useful in lanes where you cannot do auto attack trades very often like Teemo. One could argue that Comet or Spellbook would be better in that situation though but I do think it depends on what you are looking for. The main use case I can think of is if you are the only engage champ on your team and/or you are duoing/flexing with someone who plays hypercarries and you want to provide more peel while sacrificing some lane power and damage. I will lower it in priority and change the description, thanks for the suggestion!

So, I want to play Sion but had some questions; should I just go for the classic Sunfire Aegis/Frostfire gauntlet until I get the hang of things or is the Lethality build viable enough for someone to get it rolling without much trouble?

Stinkee | May 22, 2021 10:21am
I would build whichever you find more fun and appealing to you. Classic tank Sion is a lot easier to play and a better way to learn the champion IMO but if you're mainly interested in lethality Sion, you could learn by playing that. They do have different playstyles so learning tank Sion won't necessarily mean you'll be good at lethality Sion and vice-versa but learning the fundamentals of Sion with a tank build is more forgiving. Lethality Sion is completely viable but if you get behind, you will have a hard time coming back, whereas with tank Sion, you can still be useful while behind. Either way, if you're just playing normal games to learn him it won't matter that much and I suggest doing that until you're comfortable with either build, then take it into ranked.

Alright then, guess I might try both playstyles to figure out which one works the best for me. Thank you for clarifying things up!
For Lethality, would you say that Phase Rush is still the best option as the main rune, or Glacial Augment?
