Gragas vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Gragas should control the lane with short trades and prevent Sion from safely stacking health and scaling.
Prioritize denying Sion's wave control and charged (Q) angles by maintaining lane pressure and vision.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Gragas aims to disrupt Sion's engage and scaling through burst trades and displacement.

Trading pattern

Take compact trades using (W) and (E) to burst and stun, then disengage quickly to leverage passive healing.
Punish Sion after he uses (Q) charge or when his (W) shield is down by stepping forward aggressively.
Use (Q) slow to zone and control spacing, forcing Sion to miss his charged (Q) or (R) engage angles.

Danger windows

Respect Sion's charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush angles; avoid predictable positioning near those zones.
Be cautious when (R) is available and has a clear path for engage; sidestep or break his angle before impact.
Avoid extended fights when your passive or (W) is on cooldown, as Sion can outlast your burst in sustained trades.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to perform full short trade rotations with (E) stun and (W) damage reduction.
Avoid engaging with (E) into unfavorable waves to prevent losing sustain and cooldown advantage.
Hold (E) to interrupt Sion's limited engage or escape attempts, especially when he commits forward.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate or disengage from Sion's long-range engage and knock him into unfavorable positions.
After first AP or tank item, trade confidently around your increased burst or durability.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his tank item spikes by maintaining spacing and vision to avoid surprise charges.

Win conditions

Win by controlling short trades with (W) and (E), using passive sustain to outlast Sion's poke and waveclear.
Deny Sion's scaling by preventing safe farming and health stacking through lane pressure and punishing cooldowns.
Use (R) effectively in teamfights to disrupt Sion's engage and isolate him or his teammates, securing favorable fights.
