Sion lore ▾

Guerrier sanguinaire d'une époque révolue, Sion était célébré comme un héros à Noxus, pour avoir étouffé un roi de Demacia de ses mains nues. Il était l'objet d'une telle dévotion qu'on lui refusa le repos éternel, en le ramenant à la vie pour continuer à servir son empire. Il massacre sans distinction alliés comme ennemis sur son chemin, prouvant à cette occasion qu'il n'a plus rien d'humain. Son armure rivetée à même la chair, Sion charge sans relâche au combat, luttant entre deux coups de sa puissante hache pour tenter de se remémorer qui il était.

Sion Top Guide | Patch 26.16

Sion dominates top lane with raw tankiness and disruptive crowd control. His 48.6% winrate in Patch 16.3 reflects a niche but powerful pick when mastered. Learn how to leverage his undying resilience and teamfight impact.

How to play Sion?

Sion thrives as a frontline bruiser-toplaner, excelling in extended trades where his passive regenerates health over time. Early game, focus on farming under tower while absorbing poke with your shield—your W (Death’s Caress) grants bonus armor and magic resist when active. Mid-game, look for all-ins with your empowered Q (Decimating Smash) and R (Unyielding Spirit) to disrupt enemy engages. In teamfights, use your ultimate to absorb damage and peel for carries, while your ultimate’s AoE knockup turns the tide of skirmishes.
