Poppy vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by using terrain to threaten (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to block Sion's engage dashes.
Manage lane pressure to deny Sion safe scaling and avoid giving him passive farm for his health stacking.

Trading pattern

Trade around your passive shield and terrain, using (Q) to poke and (E) to stun when Sion is near walls.
Punish Sion after he wastes (Q) charge or when his (W) shield is down by stepping up for short trades.
Avoid using (W) prematurely; save it to deny Sion's dash engages and force him to back off.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion has (R) available with a clear path, as he can force all-ins or ganks.
Respect charged (Q) knockups especially from fog or brush; avoid predictable positioning near those angles.
Avoid extended fights away from walls where your (E) stun threat and (W) counter-engage are weaker.

Early game

Use your passive shield and (Q) for short trades when Sion approaches, especially before he stacks (W) shield.
Avoid fighting far from walls to keep (E) stun threat reliable and punish Sion's low mobility.
Hold (W) to counter (Q) charges and prevent him from initiating trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage or isolate Sion's engage attempts and reset unfavorable fights.
After your first tank item, hold (W) to absorb Sion's damage and maintain frontline control near walls.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush angles; sidestep or break his engage path.

Win conditions

Deny Sion's dash engages by holding (W) and punishing him near walls with (E) stuns.
Use your tank durability and crowd control to peel for your carries and disrupt Sion's frontline role.
Control the lane tempo to prevent Sion from safely stacking health and scaling into a durable front line.
