Aurelion Sol vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming safely to reach your strong late-game scaling as a control mage against Sion's tank frontline style.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Sion a passive lane where he can freely stack health and threaten engages.
This is a scale vs scale matchup where you must avoid early all-ins and focus on hitting your major item and ultimate power spikes.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to slow and set up (Q) poke and waveclear, but avoid trading when (W) shield is active.
Punish Sion's missed or interrupted (Q) charges with quick (E) into (Q) bursts to chip away at him.
Respect (R) engage; back off or sidestep to avoid being caught in his long-range knockup initiation.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion has charged (Q) ready from fog or brush angles; avoid walking into obvious charge paths.
Respect (R) long-range engage when he has a clear path and team follow-up.
Avoid low-health fights where Sion can punish with his passive damage and crowd control.

Early game

Focus on farming with (E) into (Q) poke to control the wave without overextending against Sion's low early agency.
Avoid extended trades before you have your full kit to prevent being punished by Sion's charged (Q) knockup or (R) engage.
Use your medium mobility from (W) to reposition and dodge Sion's telegraphed engages and charged abilities.

Power spikes

At 75+ Stardust stacks, your upgraded ultimate turns lane-neutral states into teamfight pressure; play safe to reach this spike.
After completing Rylai's, use improved waveclear and chase potential to pressure Sion more confidently.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his health scaling from (W) stacks, which make him harder to remove in fights.

Win conditions

Win by safely stacking farm and reaching your major power spikes to outscale Sion's tankiness.
Use your upgraded (R) and Rylai's slow to control teamfights and chase down Sion or his frontline.
Deny Sion safe health scaling by pressuring waves after your power spikes and punishing missed (Q) charges to reduce his frontline threat.
