Sion vs Volibear

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize wave control and avoid giving Volibear easy melee access to prevent his early lane pressure.
Focus on stacking health with (W) and setting up charged (Q) from fog or brush to punish Volibear's aggression.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Sion must survive early pressure and scale into a durable front line.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to slow Volibear before charging (Q) from protected angles to land knockups.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots where Volibear can easily dodge or punish.
After Volibear uses (Q) or misses (E), step forward to trade while his engage tools are down.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun availability as it enables his early all-in potential.
Avoid extended trades when Volibear can land his second (W) heal and (E) shield.
Be cautious when Volibear has (R) ready to dive under tower or force committed fights.

Early game

Play safe and use waveclear to maintain a controlled lane state without overextending.
Avoid taking trades when (W) shield is down or when (Q) stun is available.
Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from fog angles to punish Volibear stepping too close.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with a clear path and team follow-up to force fights or pressure the lane.
After first tank item and health scaling from (W), absorb damage and threaten charged (Q) zones.
Respect Volibear's level 6 (R) dive threat and his bruiser item timing that increases his durability and sustain.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by controlling waves and avoiding Volibear's engage windows.
Scale health with (W) and become a durable front line that can initiate or disrupt fights with charged (Q) and (R).
Use fog or brush to set up impactful (Q) knockups and leverage (R) to start fights with clear paths and team follow-up.
