Jax vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving early trades and preserving health to reach your item spikes for stronger dueling power.
Manage lane pressure carefully to avoid giving Sion a passive farming lane and deny his scaling through controlled aggression.

Trading pattern

Bait Sion's auto attacks into (E) to stun and follow up with (Q) for favorable trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or when (W) shield is active to reduce damage taken.
Use (Q) only when you can follow up safely or when Sion's mobility is limited to avoid being kited.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown, as you lose your main defensive tool against Sion's auto attacks.
Respect Sion's charged (Q) knockup especially from fog or brush angles; avoid predictable positioning near these zones.
Avoid fighting when (R) is active with a clear path, as his engage and knockup can lead to lethal trades.

Early game

Use (E) to block Sion's auto attacks and punish his attempts to trade when (E) is available.
Avoid extended fights before your item spikes to minimize risk against his tankiness and crowd control.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Sion from freely stacking health with (W).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase your durability and sustain in extended trades; only engage when (E) is ready or enemy cooldowns are down.
After your two-item spike, force side-lane pressure and extended duels to leverage your superior scaling and splitpush threat.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his health scaling from (W); avoid fights when his shield is up or (R) is available.

Win conditions

Survive early trades by using (E) effectively, then scale into your item spikes to dominate side-lane duels.
Force extended fights after your power spikes where your sustained damage and (R) durability outmatch Sion's tankiness.
Use your mobility and stun to punish Sion's cooldowns and prevent him from stacking health freely, denying his scaling potential.
