Kayle vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe farming to reach level 6 and item thresholds before engaging.
Avoid giving Sion a passive lane where he can freely stack health and charge (Q).
This is a scale vs scale matchup where Kayle must survive early to become a late-game DPS threat.

Trading pattern

Avoid trading when (R) is down or before level 6; use (Q) slow and resistance shred to poke safely.
Punish Sion's missed (Q) or when (W) shield is down by stepping forward for short trades.
Use (R) to deny lethal burst and commit to longer DPS trades once ranged form is reached.

Danger windows

Kayle is vulnerable before level 6 and without (R); avoid extended trades and all-ins during this window.
Be cautious when Sion charges (Q) from fog or brush angles; maintain spacing and vision to reduce surprise engages.
When (R) is down, Kayle is more susceptible to Sion's burst and engage; play safe and avoid risky fights.

Early game

Play defensively and use (Q) and (W) to sustain through Sion's early pressure.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when you lack range and (R) invulnerability.
Position away from brush and fog angles to reduce risk of charged (Q) engage.

Power spikes

At level 6, Kayle gains ranged attacks and (R); stabilize lane and use (R) to negate Sion's burst.
Kayle's late-game DPS scaling makes her a major side-lane and teamfight threat; protect uptime and fight front-to-back.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his health scaling with (W) shield; avoid getting caught in fog or long engage paths.

Win conditions

Survive early levels by using (Q) and (W) to farm safely and avoid Sion's engage angles.
Reach level 6 and item breakpoints to gain ranged attacks and (R) for invulnerability.
In late game, leverage ranged DPS and (R) timing to dominate side-lane fights and contribute safely in teamfights.
