PLAYING ASSion
  • You only have very slight turning ability during Unstoppable Onslaught, so make sure to use it in straight paths.
  • Roar of the Slayer is a great setup ability to land a very powerful Decimating Smash.
  • The Soul Furnace buff displays how much shield strength is remaining, use this information to time its explosion perfectly.
PLAYING AGAINSTSion
  • Even if Sion still hits a Decimating Smash, making him release the charge earlier reduces its impact.
  • Use the time after Sion has died to reposition and prepare for his return.

Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it.
