Who Is Wild Rift Sion?

Sion is a traditional-age Noxian warrior known for slaughtering everyone in his path. He swore to his ancestors that he would never retreat in battle and would die a proud warrior's death when his time came. He met his death at the hands of Demacia's king, Jarvan. Years later, Noxus's Grand General Boram Darkwill opened Sion's grave, and Sion returned even more bloodthirsty than before. He threatened everyone and everything in his path with death. Filled with rage, the champion quickly became unstoppable.

What Are Wild Rift Sion's Abilities?

• Passive (Glory in Death): After dying, Sion briefly comes back to life, and his health rapidly drops. Basic attacks heal him and deal bonus damage based on his target's maximum health.
• Decimating Smash: Winds up a powerful swing that deals damage in front of him. Knocks enemies into the air and stuns them.
• Soul Furnace: Creates a shield around himself that explodes after three seconds, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Killing enemies builds up his maximum health.
• Roar of the Slayer: Sends out a short-range shockwave that deals damage and slows those it hits. This reduces the armor of the first enemy hit. If the shockwave hits a minion, it's launched backward, dealing damage, slowing, and reducing the armor of anyone it hits.
• Unstoppable Onslaught: Charges in a single direction, gaining speed over time. Can knock enemies into the air and lightly redirect them, dealing damage based on the distance charged.

When Is Wild Rift Sion Coming Out?

Wild Rift's new champion is expected to release very soon, alongside Samira. Every champion release is usually accompanied by a champion event, where players can unlock the champion for free by completing missions.
