Aurora vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora is a mobile mage assassin who must pressure the wave moderately to deny Sion a calm scaling lane without overextending.
Focus on using burst and repositioning to punish Sion's low mobility and telegraphed engages while respecting his tankiness and scaling.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) followed by (E) repositioning and reactivating (Q) for burst trades, avoiding predictable (E) usage since it is easily dodged.
Punish Sion after missed (Q) charges or when his (W) shield is down by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid trading immediately after using (W) due to lack of escape and respect Sion's slow (E) that sets up his knockup (Q).

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion has a charged (Q) from fog or brush angles; avoid walking into obvious charge zones.
Respect (R) engage when it has a clear path; sidestep or break his angle before impact.
After using (W), avoid extended trades as you lack a quick escape and can be punished by Sion's crowd control.

Early game

Play around Sion's low early agency by applying pressure with (Q) and quick trades, but avoid extended fights due to his (W) shield.
Use (W) invisibility carefully since you lose quick escape after using it; avoid risky trades immediately after.
Keep the wave in a manageable state to prevent giving Sion easy charged (Q) angles from fog or brush.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for high mobility and burst to secure picks or escape, tracking (R) engage path to avoid being caught.
After completing your first AP burst item, increase pressure on waves and trades, forcing Sion to respect your damage.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his scaling health from (W) stacks, which make him a durable frontline threat.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows and wave pressure to deny Sion safe scaling and prevent him from stacking health.
Leverage your level 6 (R) for picks and roams to snowball leads and create teamfight disruption.
Focus on mobile skirmishes and flank pressure in teamfights to exploit Sion's low mobility and lack of reliable escapes.
