Fiora vs Sion Counter Pick

The parry decides this one. Sion’s biggest commitments are two long telegraphs, a charged Decimating Smash and a ramping Unstoppable Onslaught, and Riposte nullifies incoming damage while disabling briefly. Fiora wins at 53.9% over 915 games on patch 16.13.1.

• Health curve: his base sheet finishes at 2,134 at level 18, under Fiora’s 2,303, because Soul Furnace is meant to grow his maximum health through kills instead.
• Armor shred: Roar of the Slayer slows and lowers the armor of the first enemy hit, the tool that makes his 68 attack damage bite.
• Afterlife: Glory in Death reanimates him with rapid, healing attacks on decaying health, so a won duel is not always finished.

Range reads 175 to 150 in his favour and both walk at 345, meaning neither side escapes a bad exchange, which suits the champion whose passive rewards staying attached. That same shield can be reactivated for magic damage around him, the one window where standing beside him costs more than it returns. Fiora’s Grand Challenge reveals all four Vitals and grants move speed near the target, and Duelist’s Dance pays health back on each one, outlasting protection that has to be re-earned. Armor sits at 36 to 33 early and 107.4 to 112.9 at 18. Difficulty: 5 against 3. Kits: Fiora and Sion.
