Sion, The Undead Champion
The history of war between Demacia and Noxus extends as far back as the founding of the respective cities in Valoran. A recent product of this conflict was the murderous Noxian warrior, Sion. Used by the Noxians as a human battering ram, Sion would be sent thundering ahead of Noxian troops. He would mercilessly slaughter foes with his large double-handed axe, Chopper. His complete disregard for caution would ultimately cost him his life, as he was captured and summarily executed by Demacian forces. The Demacians thought that the beheading of Sion would be the end of his bloodthirsty ways. Death, however, was merely the beginning. The famed Noxian assassin, Katarina, recovered Sion's remains and Noxian necromancers reanimated the behemoth to serve Noxus once again.
Sion emerged from the reanimation process even more brutal than before. His gaze alone would now stop foes dead in their tracks. His skin thickened considerably, increasing the amount of damage the already brutish beast could withstand. He could focus his rage into attacks that cause near-crippling damage at the expense of his own health. Finally, he could drain the very essence of life out of his foes, replenishing himself and his allies. The one thing, however, that the Noxian necromancers did not anticipate upon reanimation was Sion's change of loyalty; his new powers have given Sion a desire to seek his own glory in undeath as a champion of the Institute of War.

Hello and welcome to my guide. This guide is on how to build Sion to become a all round hero killer. Lets get started. Sion is a very versatile champion that is often underestimated. It's recommended items that the game says to get is tanking items. This however will not let Sion maximize his full potential. In my opinion, Sion should be a nuker.

2:Cryptic Gaze
3: Death's Caress

eath's Caress

11:Cryptic Gaze
12:Cryptic Gaze
13:Cannibalism
14-15: Enrage
16: Cannibalism
17-18: Enrage
Skill Justification
At lever one you should take Enrage for 2 reasons. If you would like first blood, enrage gives you +25 attack at a measly cost of 6 hp per hit. If you are laning with a hero with a slow such as Ashe or Twitch, you can easily do an extra 100 damage in the beginning. The second reason is for the bonus hp. If you are able to activate Enrage on right when you are about to kill an enemy, you gain 1 perma hp. If you are able to last hit extremely well, you will get about +40 hp before lvl 6. This can later on tremendously increase your hp. At level 2 you get the stun to chase and to save. By level 5 you should start killing/harassing by first activating shield, stun, run up, wait about 1 second, then manually blow up your shield. The reason you max out shield first is because it does more damage than the stun. At level six you take Cannibalism because it greatly improves your pushing ability. It allows you to kill towers faster while healing the tanking minions. You do not take Cannabilism at lvl 16 because this guide is on building a nuker not a pusher.
Items
1. Mejal's Soulstealer
2. Sorcerer's Shoes
3. Lich Bane
4. Zhonya Ring
5,6. Choose 2 out of 3 Abyssal Scepter, Archangel's Staff, Deathfire's Grasp
Item Justification
MOST IMPROTANT PART PLZ READ IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUCEED
The whole reason why Sion is the perfect nuker. Sion's abilitypower==>Spell damage
Ratio is 1:1. Yes that is right. If you have 600 ability power, your abilities will do 600 more damage.
Your first item you get is a amplifying tome and a hp pot. Hp gives you survivability and the tome helps you build either your mejal or shoes. After completing your mejal's and your shoes, you can choose whatever way you want for the remaining 4 items. IMO get Lich bane first.
To justify my statements this is what happens if Sion has all 6 items. He will have around 600 Ability Power
1. Death's Caress can either a) absorb 920 damage or b) deal 920 damage
2. Stun will do 900 damage
3. Death Caress will be able to wipe out a single minion wave. If enrage is on while you do this and enrage is lvl 5, you will get about 20 Permanent Hp
4. If you have Lich Bane, then everytime u use a skill your damage goes up by 600
THis is the Combo
Shield, Attack (600), stun (1500), Attack (2100), Manually Explode Shield (3020), Attack (3620). Thats right. If you follow the combo, you will do about 3620 damage to enemy not counting magic resistant. This is normally enough to kill of a single champion.
Champion Skills
1. Teleport
2. Purity
Justification
1. Teleport lets you easily travel to set up ganks
2. Sion has bad mana in beginning so Purity will make up for it.
Strategy
You should lane with a champion with a slow. Often gank so you can rack up ability points from Mejal and also use it for mana refill.
