Sion vs Kayle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use wave control and fog angles to hide charged (Q) and pressure Kayle's weak early lane agency.
Deny Kayle a passive lane to prevent her safe scaling and late-game DPS power.
This is a control vs scaling matchup where Sion must pressure early and survive to teamfight engage.

Trading pattern

Use (E) slow to initiate trades and follow with charged (Q) for knockup and damage.
Punish Kayle heavily if she walks into visible or fog-hidden charged (Q) angles.
Avoid trading when (W) shield is down or (Q) is interrupted to prevent losing short trades.

Danger windows

(R) invulnerability can negate your burst; avoid committing when it's available.
Be cautious when your (Q) is on cooldown as your main engage and CC is limited.
Avoid charging (Q) in visible areas where Kayle can easily sidestep and punish you.

Early game

Focus on farming safely while using (E) slows to set up charged (Q) from brush or fog.
Avoid obvious (Q) charges to prevent easy dodges and punish Kayle's early low pressure.
Use (W) shield to absorb poke and stack health for mid/late game durability.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with a clear path and team follow-up to force fights or return pressure.
Build health and tank items to maximize (W) shield scaling and become hard to remove in fights.
Respect Kayle's level 6 ranged form and (R) invulnerability by avoiding all-ins without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Control the wave to deny Kayle safe farm and force her into vulnerable trades.
Scale health with (W) and items to become a durable frontline that can engage with (Q) and (R).
Use long-range (R) engages from fog or brush to start fights before Kayle can safely DPS.

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