IM BACK!


Sion is a tanky DPS champion. Sion is very versatile in his build pathings capable of building AD or AP. If built AD, Sion is a wrecking machine capable of demolishing enemy teams if he is capable of getting in range. If built Ap, Sion is EASILY capable of bursting down members of the enemy team, all whole staying safe under the cover of his massive shield. Sion's versatility allows him to have very good matchups as he is able to adapt to the enemies he faces.

Feel No Pain- Sion has a 40% chance to ignore up to 30 / 40 / 50 damage each time he is attacked. The damage reduction is calculated before armor and percentage damage reduction benefits are taken into account.
This passive will go unnoticed for the most part, but it does help to mitigate some damage from the minions/ enemy champion in a fight.

Cryptic Gaze- Blasts a single enemy, dealing 70 / 125 / 180 / 240 / 300 (+90% of ability power) magic damage and stunning for 1.5 seconds.
As AD Sion this skill is NEEDED to engage on an enemy. This is the closest thing to a gap closer you have.

On Ap Sion this skill is half of your damage combo. You will use this to start and explode your shield for damage.

Death's Caress- Sion surrounds himself with a shield which absorbs 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+90% of ability power) damage. If the shield is not destroyed in 10 seconds, it will explode, dealing 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+90% of ability power) magic damage to surrounding enemies. Cast again after 4 seconds to manually detonate.
As AD sion this skill is a nice shield that can block some damage while you lifesteal, help push, or be used for some extra harass in a fight.

As AP sion this is your CORE skill. This skill allows you to block harass as well as DEAL TONS OF DAMAGE.

Enrage- Toggle: Increases Sion's damage by 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65, and he gains 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 maximum health per kill.
As AD Sion this skill is AMAZING. The amount of AD you get is MASSIVE. From the moment you learn this skill never turn it off. Not only does this skill give you insane amounts of AD, it also makes it so you get hp for last hitting minions. Making a well farmed AD Sion, a very tanky Sion even with little health from items.

As ap sion this skill will mostly just be a source of hp. The AD will help on last hitting early on before your shield will one shot minion waves.

Cannibalism- Grants Sion 50 / 75 / 100 % lifesteal and 50% attack speed for 20 seconds. Additionally, Sion's attacks heal surrounding allies for 25 / 37.5 / 50 % of damage dealt.
For AD Sion BEST SKILL EVER! This skill makes you a sustained BEAST, I mean 1v5 your team and stay at full hp beast (Well not that extent exactly, but pretty close.). In lane at level 6, this skill gives you alot of fighting power and kill potential. Not only is this skills effect AMAZING, but it also lasts 20 SECONDS. That means this skill will last for the majority of most skirmishes and teamfights. In lane fights, even after the fight is over this skill will typically stay up and allow you to lifesteal back most if not all of your hp. Something else to think about is even for all the hp it it healing YOU, it is giving half of what you heal to YOUR TEAM. In teamfights this is insane as you will be critting for 1k and healing your allies for 500 hp, everytime you hit.

For AP sion this skill is mostly just a source of sustain.

Combos:

AD sion

Q-W-R- BARBARIAN MODE!

Ap sion

W-Q-W (Rinse and repeat till dead).

Akali (Go AD, ignore her and farm. Ult if she tries to kill. Go AP and you just kill her over and over, but do not have as good of a scaling.)

Cho'Gath (Go AD. Farm harder, Do better later on.)

Darius (Play passive till 6, at which point you can fight him decently, you scale better into late game.)

Fiora (GO AD. At 6 you have a much better fighting power then her)

Nasus (Go AD. Outfarm him and scale harder.)

Rumble (Go AP, bully him out of lane).

Shen (Go AD and free farm)

Wukong (Go AD, Get 6 win lane.)

Skarner (Do whatever you want, just watch for ganks)

Shyvana (Go AD, get 6 and you win in a straight up fight.)

Jarvan IV (Go either. If he dunks you, blow him up).

Gangplank (Go AD and farm.)

Hecarim (Go AD and outfarm him or go AP and shut him down.)

Irelia (When she activates hiten, you ult.)

Garen (He has the early power to shut down wither of your forms.)

Renekton (See Garen)

Riven (Her early damage is strong AND she can burst you down faster then you can sustain.)

Jax (Hes the champ, counters AD hard and forces you to go AP.)

Malphite (He can shut down both your AD and AP.

Olaf (His ult will make him win a direct fight as you cannot lock him down.)

Yorick (Hes yorick.)

Singed (Cant chase him, but you need to chase to do any damage :( )

Pantheon (Spears all day long, blocks your autos.)

• Use your shield once you activate your ult, as you will be able to sustain back hp while they try and kill your shield.
• Farm as much as possible early game to make use of your E passive.
• An early gank from your jungler will put you VERY FAR AHEAD. Your CC is 1.5 seconds level 1 making you receive ganks very well at early levels.

• When Sion turns on his shield it means he probably wants to engage.
• In order to fight an AD Sion, bait his ult and back off. Once it is down then is your best time to try and fight him.
• If the enemy Sion is going AD call for some early ganks to shut him down.

AD sion

Wriggle's Lantern- Gives you stats to make you have a strong early lane so you can farm to god-mode.

Trinity Force- This item is highly underestimated and is very good on Sion. The sheen proc makes your first hit after your stun do more damage (They will typically run after your first hit so you need to make it count), the zeal is AMAZING as Sion needs crit and attack speed for his ultimate and movespeed to stick to your targets, and the phage allows you to lock enemies down and makes you even tankier.

Phantom Dancer- More AS, crit, and Ms.

Infinity Edge- Crit, Damage, AND CRIT DAMAGE INCREASE. MAKES YOU HEAL LIKE A BOSS WHEN YOU CRIT WITH ULT ON.

Bloodthirster- More Sustain and Damage.

Guardian Angel- Revive is helpful, especially with your sustain.

Last Whisper-Armor Pen for late game.

Youmuu's Ghostblade -attack speed crit ,dmg, and cdr. It also has an active that is the same as a master yi ult but without the immunity to slows.

Atma's Impaler - turns you high amount of hp into attack damage + gives u crit AND def.

Maw of Malmortius- A good item if you are laning vs an AP.

Wit's End- A VERY strong item if the enemy team has a decent amount of magic damage.

Ap Sion

Rod of Ages- Makes you tanky, you may need this to farm top (Mana for your shields.) if your mid needs the blues.

Rabadon's Deathcap- Makes you get soooo much AP. Those shields.

Zhonya's Hourglass- Good when you are facing an enemy AD top, and allows you to buy a chain vest if you need it. The item itself is good to give you safety in a fight.

Abyssal Mask- Gives you MR and makes the enemies more susceptible to your burst abilities.

Will of the Ancients- Gives you and your team sustain, get this if you have a mid who it works well with.

Deathfire Grasp- Cdr and with your burst combo amazing damage.

Lich Bane - A good item to add damage to your burst.

Sion is strong in soloQ as he can win lane and destroy disorganized teams.

Sion can do ok in ranked 5s BUT he NEEDS a team built around him. He needs a team that can let him get in and use his ult+autos/burst combo.

Pros:
-Strong late.
-Adaptable to many matchups.
-High carry ability.
-Hard to pick against.
-Insane damage
-Can sustain his team.

Cons:
-No gap closer.
-Kinda boring.
-Needs to farm well early game.
-If he gets behind he is far behind.


This was my top facts Sion. It kinda is more of a 2 in 1 though I cover alot more on AD Sion then AP (Ap is strong in lane but falls off, and is less fun for me then AD). Sion is free right now and is strong

SERIES UPDATE: My top facts series is more then halfway done and my guide is essentially ready except for all the videos and the rest of the top facts. Also the format of this Facts is going to be the kind of format in the guide for every champion.
