Introduction
HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, and welcome to my first mobafire guide. This one is a favorite of
mine, and can really do amazing where you wouldn't expect. You know what I'm talking about, it's...
So let's look at
Sion. He's kind of caught between a tug of war. You can play him AP and have a
great early/mid game, or play him AD and have a great mid/late game. Why not stick him in the jungle and farm to that mid/late game and have a one man army? Few champions can match up to a 



On a side note, this isn't a hard laid out guide, build him however feels right, because every game is
different. Any criticism is gratefully accepted, as well as praise, or even lump sums of cash. (I mean what?)
"I do it"
Sion. Used by the Noxians as a human battering ram, Sion would be sent thundering ahead of Noxian troops. He would mercilessly slaughter foes with his large double-bladed axe, "Chopper". His complete disregard for caution ultimately cost him his life, as he was captured and summarily executed by Demacian forces.
Katarina, recovered Sion's remains and Noxian necromancers reanimated the behemoth to serve Noxus once again. Sion's reanimation actually bestowed new powers on him and increased the potency of his existing abilities, making him even more of a terror to behold on the battlefield. The Noxian High Command had a powerful new weapon in their hands - one they have brought to bear as a champion in the League of Legends. Even though Sion's increased powers would make him a powerful tool for the High Command's use outside the Fields of Justice, Noxus no longer risks losing one of their greatest champions in the League to chance or circumstance; Sion's days as a front-line fighter for Noxus' military conquests are at an end.
I'd put a Champion Spotlight here, but you know, when you're as old as the game, they don't give you a Spotlight
What every
Sion player should do, with 'it' being winning the game
Time for lore:

Prior to the creation of the League of Legends, the city-states of Demacia and Noxus were locked in a
brutal series of on-again-off-again wars that spanned the course of centuries. Both powers sought an advantage over the other, but Noxus was the city-state willing to forego conventional morality to achieve its goals. Only brute strength and the will to use it mattered to Noxus, and this is best exemplified in the murderous warrior, 
The Demacians thought that the beheading of Sion would be the end of his bloodthirsty ways. Death,
however, was merely the beginning of Sion's rise to power. The famed Noxian assassin, 
"For Noxus, death is a promotion."
So yeah, this is a pretty BA dude. Also don't get his axe, "Chopper" mixed up with
Fizz's shark,
"Chomper." If you do this you may be cut up by Chopper and fed to Chomper.

Why should anybody play jungle
Sion? He's not even on the jungle tier list, so why should we even
try? The real reason you should Jungle Sion is because he adds another carry's worth of damage to your team,you have another tanky character, and he takes towers down with ease. If you want high kills in games, don't use this guide. You will more than likely get more assists with this guide. This is good. League of Legends is a team game. Using 

How can you jungle
Sion?

Well this is due to his passive,
Feel No Pain, and his w
Death's Caress. You may not notice it, but
his passive takes a bunch of damage away from jungling. A 40% reduces at least 1 attack per wave of attacks from a camp, and the 30 damage is enough to reduce all the damage from lesser monsters, and all but 5 from normal monsters, or 35 from buff monsters. This is a nice passive in the jungle, since you're being constantly auto attacked and thus get the most use out of it. as for your w, a shield and AOE damage is great for the jungle.

Runes




I take the Runes of an AD carry for this build, and it works! And in my opinion it works pretty well.
Greater Mark of Armor Penetration is all around good for an AD champion, but if you prefer 







These are pretty much the standard AD masteries, with the jungle ones thrown in.










After a very successful game I just had to revamp the items!
Item Sequence






Ravenous Hydra
3300

Infinity Edge
3450

Atma's Impaler
2300

Zephyr
3100

Warmog's Armor
3100

Randuin's Omen
2700

Runic Bulwark
2950
This is currently the best group of items for a one man army
Sion. This will give you over 400 attack
damage that splashes, around 4500 health if you farm your e well, with it increasing even more as long as the game continues, and a good chunk of armor, and magic resist if you choose bulwark.

This is the start that nearly every jungler takes, and for
Sion we continue that trend. Use these
wisely, and you'll get through a good amount with them.

This is an economic trip to bank. We pick up some gp5 and
Twisted Fate's passive, and some boots
to help maneuver the jungle and get ganks. This also helps your clear time, since 


These two are such good items on Sion, especially jungle Sion.
Berserker's Greaves helps Sion's
slow swinging axe (or hammer, or hatchet), and helps once again to get you around the jungle. 

Ok, now we get the big boys out. We get
Warmog's Armor because it compliments Sion's passive
and tanking while doing damage well, and I mean, League of Warmogs!


You then need to look at the enemy team. Ad is high, get
Randuin's Omen. This is good especially if
they have Vayne or someone with BoTRK, as it counters those greatly. Along with 

If they have a lot of magic damage, get
Runic Bulwark. This not only makes you tanky, but is the
best defensive item for your team in the game.




(I'm pretty sure this randuin's buld makes the most appostrophes possible, with 4)
Possibility: I will be trying out
Black Cleaver in some games because it aoe procs with


I find this skill sequence best for AD sion, especially jungling. We take
Death's Caress first because
it makes us more durable until we get blue where we take 
















Other options:














You'll go the normal jungling route:
- Wolves
- Blue (smite)
- Wraiths
- Golems
- Red (smite)
Tips and Tricks
- When it says "Minions have spawned" wait ~2 seconds and hit w, this will cause it to be able to be detonated and thus do damage. If you hit it while attacking the wolves, they'll eat through it. Same goes for about every camp, since you have to wait 4 seconds to manually detonate.
- Ganking. Same kind of deal. Sit in the bush, anticipate, hit w, run up, STUN, run up to them, knock 'em around good, then blow up your shield. BOOM.
- Dragon. Wait until you're ~half health to pop your ulti, and hopefully the enemy doesn't intercept.
- Teamfights. Pop your ulti whenever, it lasts 20 seconds, more than enough for a teamfight. Go for the people with ignite first so they have less of a chance to use it on you. Well you should go for the squishies, but usually these are the ones who take ignite, so it all works out.
- Tower smashing. Lifesteal doesn't proc on towers, so your E could take out a decent amount of health. I'd say don't take it off, as the damage is still really good. I usually use my ulti on towers as well, since it's really just so good attack speed wise.
I would personally not recommend counterjungling as
Sion, unless it's an obvious chance. So in the
instance that you're heading top and see their jungler bot, take their red or blue and vice versa depending on sides. You're more likely to just get their golems, but hey, gold is gold.

Getting Counterjungled
There's a bunch of champions known for counterjungling, such as 






Thank you for enjoying my
Sion jungle guide! I appreciate all feedback. I know I didn't go over
what his skills do, but I'm a guide, not the wiki, and if you play league, you know you can already find out what the skills do by finding Sion's bio. So yeah, go ahead swinging your axe! (or hammer or hatchet).
"What is best in death? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of noobs!"
