How to play

General
  1. You rush Heartsteel #1 unless it is going to be hard to proc it - they are all ranged and just poke you. Then you start slow with Guardian's Horn.
  2. After Heartsteel, you can rush Titanic Hydra (more fun, damage and some survi) AND/OR Sundered Sky or just go full tank - depending on if you are behind and if your team needs more damage.
  3. Sundered Sky is very good damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so Grasp, Heartsteel, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
  4. This is auto attack oriented Sion build, so do it! Especially if running with Titanic Hydra and Sundered Sky as well.
  5. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for a very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  6. Triumph is better (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  7. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  8. Remember to consume your Heartsteel procs!
  9. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Remember that your W does % max HP, making it pretty good ability to execute your enemies. Wait few seconds so you can explode, combine that with Flash and you have a nice combo to finish off your enemies.
  2. You can combo Soul Furnace (W) with Unstoppable Onslaught (R). Pop W, wait a second or two, then use your ultimate. Donate W when near your target (you don't even need to hit your R) for maximum damage, or when you land your R.
Riot
  1. You only have very slight turning ability during Unstoppable Onslaught, so make sure to use it in straight paths.
  2. Roar of the Slayer is a great setup ability to land a very powerful Decimating Smash.
  3. The Soul Furnace buff displays how much shield strength is remaining, use this information to time its explosion perfectly.
