Yasuo vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yasuo must use his superior mobility and wave control to pressure Sion and deny him a calm scaling lane.
This matchup is a snowball vs scale fight where Yasuo aims to punish Sion's low early agency and prevent his health stacking.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) and use (E) through minions to create space and threaten knockups for all-ins.
Use (W) to block Sion's charged (Q) or (E) slow setups, then commit when his shield is down.
Punish Sion immediately after he misses (Q) or when (W) shield is on cooldown to secure short trades.

Danger windows

Respect Sion's charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush; avoid obvious angles where he can charge.
Be cautious when (W) shield is active on Sion, as he can absorb damage and retaliate.
Avoid getting caught by (R) engage; sidestep or break his path before impact to prevent lethal all-ins.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike by combining (Q) and (E) to trade aggressively when (W) shield is down.
Avoid extended trades without minion waves to dash through, as Yasuo loses mobility and dodge options.
Control the wave to stay close to minions, enabling safe (E) mobility and punishing Sion's slow movement.

Power spikes

At level 2, use (Q) plus (E) combo to force trades that Sion struggles to contest.
At level 6, track (R) availability and use knockup combos to engage or disengage safely.
After first item completion, increase pressure on waves and trades, exploiting Yasuo's damage spike.

Win conditions

Deny Sion a safe farming lane by using (Q) and (E) to pressure and zone him from minions.
Use knockup combos and (R) to secure kills or force Sion out of lane before he scales.
Maintain wave control and mobility to outmaneuver Sion's low mobility and capitalize on his cooldowns.
