Sion vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This matchup is a control vs teamfight lane where Sion aims to scale into a durable front line and deny Mordekaiser's extended trades.
Sion should avoid giving Mordekaiser passive lane states by using waveclear and threatening charged (Q) from fog or brush angles.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to slow Mordekaiser and follow up with charged (Q) from fog or brush to punish his limited mobility.
Avoid trading when your (W) shield is down or after a missed (Q) to reduce vulnerability to Mordekaiser's sustained damage.
Do not chase Mordekaiser aggressively; rely on wave control and short trades to mitigate his passive and (W) healing.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) pull is up, as it sets up his isolated (Q) and passive damage.
Avoid extended trades when (W) shield is active and can convert damage to healing.
Respect (R) isolation window; do not overextend or fight alone during this time.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and stacking health with (W) while controlling the wave to avoid extended trades before level 6.
Avoid walking into (E) pull range to prevent being isolated and taking heavy damage.
Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from protected angles rather than forcing early fights.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with a clear path and team follow-up to force fights or pressure the lane.
After first tank item and with high health scaling, absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones to become a reliable frontline.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation; avoid being caught alone and use wave control to limit his engage options.

Win conditions

Control the wave to deny Mordekaiser extended trades and prevent him from activating his passive.
Scale health with (W) and farm safely to become a tanky frontline that can initiate with charged (Q) and (R).
Use fog or brush angles to land impactful engages and force teamfights where your engage and tankiness outvalue Mordekaiser's dueling.
