Gnar vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use mini form range to poke and kite Sion, denying him easy scaling and wave control.
Manage Rage carefully to time mega form for impactful crowd control near terrain and objective fights.

Trading pattern

Trade in mini form using (Q) poke and kite with (E), only committing to mega form trades when Rage is near full.
Punish Sion after he misses his charged (Q) or when his (W) shield is down.
Avoid fighting when Sion’s (R) is available and has a clear engage path; respect his long-range engage threat.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion’s charged (Q) is off cooldown and he can use fog or brush for surprise engages.
Avoid extended trades or fights when Sion’s (R) is active and has a clear path to engage.
Mini form is vulnerable without (E); don’t overextend or trade without an escape ready.

Early game

Start with ranged poke using (Q) to chip Sion while avoiding his charged (Q) knockup.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down to prevent getting caught by his engage.
Keep wave control to prevent Sion from safely charging (Q) from fog or brush angles.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use mega form (R) with terrain angles to land wall stun and initiate fights.
Controlled Rage: Enter fights with Rage nearly full to maximize mega form durability and CC.
Respect Sion’s level 6 (R) engage and his scaling health from (W) stacks, which make him a tough frontline.

Win conditions

Use mini form ranged harassment to deny Sion easy scaling and force him to miss farm.
Time mega form to engage near walls and objectives, maximizing crowd control impact.
Control the lane state to prevent Sion from charging (Q) safely and force him into unfavorable trades.

Tip: For Gnar vs Sion, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Top lane check.
