Sion vs Warwick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This is a scaling tank vs early duelist matchup where Sion must manage wave control to avoid extended fights.
Sion should avoid giving Warwick easy sustained trades and instead focus on controlled farming and health stacking for teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from fog or brush angles for impactful trades.
Avoid trading when (W) shield is down or after a missed (Q) to prevent Warwick's healing from winning extended fights.
Do not chase Warwick aggressively; rely on wave control and (Q) knockup to punish his positioning.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Warwick has (E) ready to absorb damage and fear, especially if you are low health.
Respect (R) suppression engage after level 6; avoid positioning where he can lock you down.
Avoid extended trades when your (W) shield is down or after missing (Q), as Warwick can out-sustain and punish you.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using (W) to build health rather than forcing trades before level 6.
Avoid extended melee fights early where Warwick's healing and (E) fear make him strong.
Use brush and fog to threaten charged (Q) without overcommitting to trades Warwick can outlast.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear pathing and team follow-up to force fights or pressure Warwick's lane presence.
After first tank item and health scaling from (W), absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones to control lane.
Respect Warwick's level 6 (R) suppress engage and his level 3 full kit sustain and fear; avoid all-ins during these windows.

Win conditions

Use wave control and health scaling to become a durable front line that can absorb Warwick's dueling attempts.
Land charged (Q) from fog or brush to punish Warwick's positioning and reduce his sustain advantage.
Use (R) to initiate or disrupt fights with team follow-up, denying Warwick easy extended trades and picks.
