Sion vs Aurora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This is a teamfight-focused matchup where Sion must manage wave control and health scaling to become a durable frontline.
Sion should avoid giving Aurora a passive lane by using waveclear and hiding charged (Q) angles to pressure her limited range and mobility.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to slow Aurora and set up charged (Q) from protected angles, punishing her long (E) animation.
Trade aggressively after Aurora uses (W) since she loses her escape tool.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots to prevent Aurora from dodging and punishing your cooldown.

Danger windows

Respect Aurora's level 6 (R) for high mobility and burst; hold key defensive tools and avoid overextending.
Be cautious when (W) shield is down, as trades become more dangerous.
Avoid committing to visible (Q) charges without fog or proper setup to prevent being kited or punished.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and stacking health with (W) to prepare for teamfights rather than forcing early trades.
Use brush or fog to hide charged (Q) and threaten Aurora's low range and easy-to-dodge (E).
Avoid extended trades before level 6 since Sion's early agency is low and Aurora can reposition with (W).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear paths and team follow-up to force fights or return pressure to lane; respect (R) window to avoid being picked.
Stack health and tank items to absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones, forcing Aurora to rely on percent-health damage.
Respect Aurora's first completed AP burst item timing by playing more cautiously and punishing her cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use wave control and health scaling to become a reliable front line that can absorb damage and start fights with charged (Q) and (R).
Punish Aurora's long and dodgeable (E) animation and lack of escape after (W) to secure trades and lane priority.
Force teamfights where your engage and tankiness outvalue Aurora's burst and mobility, controlling the frontline and disrupting her flanks.
