Warwick vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Warwick should leverage his early dueling strength and sustain to pressure Sion and deny his passive scaling.
Prioritize extended melee trades to outlast Sion's burst and avoid giving him easy wave control or scaling opportunities.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Warwick must snowball early to prevent Sion from becoming a tanky frontline threat.

Trading pattern

Engage in melee range trades using (Q) to heal and hold (E) to fear when Sion commits with burst damage.
Punish Sion after he wastes (Q) charge or when his (W) shield is down by extending trades.
Use (R) to suppress and lock down Sion when he overextends or is low health, ensuring follow-up damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion has (Q) fully charged from fog or brush, as it can knock you up and punish trades.
Avoid fighting when (R) is up and he has a clear path to engage, as his long-range knockup can start fights.
Warwick is vulnerable if (E) is used prematurely before damage lands or if (R) misses, reducing his control and sustain in trades.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to force extended trades using (Q) healing and hold (E) to absorb Sion's burst or interrupt his (Q) charge.
Track (W) shield cooldown to know when he is vulnerable to sustained damage.
Avoid fighting when (Q) is fully charged or when he positions in fog or brush for surprise engages.

Power spikes

At level 3, Warwick's full kit enables strong sustain and fear, so take extended fights and punish Sion's cooldowns.
At level 6, use (R) to force picks or all-ins from range, especially when (R) engage path is unclear.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and charged (Q) knockup; avoid obvious charge angles and sidestep his ult initiation.

Win conditions

Snowball early by winning extended trades using (Q) healing and (E) fear to outlast Sion and deny his scaling.
Use (W) to track Sion's low health and punish overextensions with (R) suppression for kills or forcing summoners.
Deny Sion a calm lane to stack (W) health and prevent him from becoming a durable frontline in teamfights.
