Sion Tips and Tricks
- When you die and enter your passive, Glory in Death, aim to get as many hits as possible. Focus on squishy targets to maximize damage. Use it to secure jungle objectives if you're close to them when you die. Killing a Red Brambleback or Blue Sentinel whilst dead will still grant you their respective buff upon revival.
- Use Unstoppable Onslaught for both engaging and escaping. You can use it to cover large distances quickly, catch out-of-position enemies, or escape dangerous situations.
- The most common Sion combo starts with Soul Furnace activation, following with Roar of the Slayer to pin the enemy down and then using Decimating Smash for maximum damage and knockup time, while the enemy is knocked up, reactivateSoul Furnace to deal additional damage.
- While moving through jungle use bushes and walls to your advantage in order to fully charge Decimating Smash and surprise your enemies.

Sion Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Red Buff start
The recommended jungle path for Sion starts at Red Brambleback but can also be done with Raptors. Use Decimating Smash at level one and pre-channel it as the camp spawns. At level two, unlock Soul Furnace to stack bonus health, then clear Krugs and Raptors. At level three, take Roar of the Slayer and rotate to Wolves, Gromp and Blue Sentinel on the Blue side. Reach level four, upgrade Decimating Smash, then secure Rift Scuttler before looking for a nearby gank or invading the enemy jungle to steal camps and gain extra bonus health from Soul Furnace.
As mentioned previously, an alternative route is starting at Raptors, but then you go for Krugs, and finish it up with the Red Brambleback. This path is a bit slower and can lead to a Red Buff invade if you have been spotted.
Sion's main early game strength is staying hidden in brush and pre-channeling Decimating Smash if you think someone's about to come near. Though, in most cases you'll just want to power farm until level six.
