Sion vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize wave control and health scaling to become a durable front line against Yone's burst and mobility.
Avoid giving Yone free scaling by denying him easy trades or passive farming windows in lane.
This is a control vs scaling matchup where Sion must manage lane pressure to reach teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) knockups from hidden angles for strong trades.
Punish Yone when he wastes (E) for engage or misses (Q) knockup, as he is vulnerable after.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots and do not trade without (W) shield active to reduce damage taken.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and (R) engage as high threat moments that can lead to lethal trades.
Avoid trading when (W) shield is down or after missing (Q), as damage intake spikes.
Be cautious when (R) is unavailable, as Sion lacks reliable long-range engage and mobility.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and stacking (W) shield to build health before level 6.
Avoid extended trades before (R) to minimize risks from Yone's burst and mobility.
Use brush or fog to hide charged (Q) angles and threaten Yone when he overextends early.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear pathing and team follow-up to force fights or pressure the lane.
After building health and tank items, leverage high health scaling to absorb damage and threaten (Q) zones.
Respect Yone's level 3 combo unlock and item spikes by playing cautiously and avoiding unfavorable trades.

Win conditions

Control the wave to deny Yone clean trades and scale your health with (W) kills.
Use fog and brush to land impactful charged (Q) knockups and initiate fights with (R).
Reach late game as a tanky front line to absorb damage and enable your team in front-to-back teamfights.
