Renekton vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage his early lane pressure to deny Sion the calm scaling lane he needs.
Prioritize aggressive wave control and short burst trades to prevent Sion from stacking health and scaling into a tanky frontliner.

Trading pattern

Trade using full fury combos: dash in with (E), use empowered (W) stun, follow up with (Q), then exit with second (E) to avoid retaliation.
Punish Sion when his (W) shield is down or after he misses his charged (Q).
Avoid using both (E) casts forward without a clear exit to prevent being caught by Sion's slow and knockup.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) is fully charged from fog or brush, as it can knock you up and set up heavy damage.
Avoid extended trades when (W) shield is active and health scaling is significant.
Watch for (R) engage with a clear path; maintain spacing and be ready to disengage or counter all-in.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and execute empowered (W) trades before Sion reaches key power spikes.
Avoid extended fights where (W) shield and health scaling reduce your damage impact.
Maintain wave control to prevent Sion from safely charging (Q) from fog or brush angles.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full combo to burst Sion before he can effectively use (W) shield and (Q) charge.
At level 6, activate (R) to add durability and convert short trades into all-ins when Sion is low or trapped.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage by sidestepping or breaking his path to avoid knockup and follow-up damage.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling waves and forcing empowered (W) trades to keep Sion under pressure and deny his scaling.
Use your level 6 (R) to turn short trades into decisive all-ins or dives when Sion is low on health.
Maintain lane priority to crash waves into turret and set up dives or plate damage before Sion becomes tanky.
