Sion vs Viktor

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave control and health scaling to become a durable front line against Viktor's poke and zone control.
Avoid giving Viktor free scaling by denying him passive farm and respecting his zone control tools.
This is a scaling vs scaling teamfight matchup where Sion must survive early poke and leverage engage tools to impact fights.

Trading pattern

Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) knockups from fog or brush angles for impactful trades.
Punish Viktor's misplaced (W) zone control or when he uses abilities solely for waveclear by stepping forward.
Avoid extended trades if (W) shield is down or after a missed (Q), as you become vulnerable to Viktor's poke.

Danger windows

Beware when Viktor has (R) available and can zone or burst with his ultimate; avoid committing without team support.
Be cautious after missing (Q) or when (W) shield is down, as you are more vulnerable to Viktor's poke and stun setups.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots where Viktor can easily dodge and punish your cooldowns.

Early game

Use (W) shield early to mitigate Viktor's poke and stack health from minion kills or small trades.
Avoid obvious (Q) charges in visible areas; instead, hide in brush or fog to threaten Viktor and force respect.
Focus on controlled farming and waveclear to prevent Viktor from safely pushing and zoning you out.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage; use it with clear paths and team follow-up to force fights or reset pressure.
High health scaling from (W) stacks and tank items makes you a hard frontline; absorb space and threaten (Q) zones to control fights.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and first completed mage item spikes by avoiding all-ins and preparing to punish cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use wave control and health scaling to become a durable front line that can absorb damage and initiate fights.
Land charged (Q) knockups from fog or brush to create pick opportunities and disrupt Viktor's positioning.
Execute long-range engages with (R) when the path is clear and team is ready to follow, denying Viktor safe scaling and teamfight control.
