Overall
Sion builds momentum through Gale Blessing — a stacking buff earned by dealing damage that increases his damage, energy recovery, shield gain, and attack speed all at once. Once stacks reach a threshold, he enters the Windwalker state with massive accuracy and pierce bonuses. Control effects strip stacks, but he can regain them by resisting controls. His ultimate generates vortices that orbit enemies dealing continuous damage; nearby vortices merge into stronger tornados. Normal attacks that hit vortices or tornados split into multiple spinning blades that target separate enemies. His blade throws steal energy from targets and cripple their energy recovery and shield generation. A wind shield provides heavy protection against ranged attacks, tripling its blocking power against long-range damage while deflecting most projectiles.
Skills
Wingstorm Barrage
UltimateGenerates vortices that orbit enemy heroes dealing continuous Dragonspeak Damage. Nearby vortices merge into stronger tornados. Normal attacks hitting vortices or tornados split into spinning blades that target separate enemies. Extra vortices are generated based on Gale Blessing stacks.
Gale’s Breath
PassiveEach hit builds a stack of Gale Blessing, up to 100. Each stack increases damage dealt, energy recovery, and shield gains. Control effects strip a portion of stacks; resisting control instead grants stacks. At high stacks, enters Windwalker state with massive Accuracy and Physical Pierce bonuses, and normal attacks throw extra spinning blades.
Whirling Blades
ActiveThrows spinning blades that steal energy from enemies and reduce their energy recovery and shield gain briefly. Effective at shutting down enemy sustain and ultimate cycling.
Skyward Protection
ActiveCreates a Wind Shield that blocks damage, with triple effectiveness against ranged attacks. While shielded, gains Tenacity and Dragonspeak Resist. Has a high chance to dodge and deflect projectile attacks while active. Normal attacks throw extra splitting blades while the shield holds.
Signature Item
Cyclone Arc
Each Gale Blessing stack increases Sion's attack speed, up to a cap. Control effects only strip a reduced portion of stacks, and resisting control grants stacks. Sion starts battle with initial Gale Blessing stacks. At a lower threshold, enters Windwalker and normal attacks throw extra spinning blades.

Generates 4 vortices to attack enemies for 6 seconds. Each vortex will whirl around enemy heroes one after another based on their positioning. As each vortex hovers on its target, it deals 140% Dragonspeak Damage per second to the target and nearby enemies. As the vortices begin to circulate, they can merge with other nearby vortices to form tornados, which are more powerful and deal 300% Dragonspeak Damage per second.
Upon dealing damage to an enemy, Sion gains 1 stack of Gale Blessing, with each stack increasing his damage dealt by 1%, Energy Recovery Rate by 0.3 point, and shield gain by 1 point. Stacks up to 100 times. Sion will lose 40% of his Gale Blessing stacks when he is hit by control effects.
Sion rapidly throws 2 spinning blades, each dealing damage equal to 150% of his Attack Rating and stealing 50 Energy points from enemies while reducing their Energy Recovery Rate and shield gain by 60% for 8 seconds.
Sion manipulates the wind to form a Wind Shield around himself for 10 seconds, which can block damage equal to 400% of his Attack Rating. When the shield blocks damage taken from long range, each point of shield value can block 3 points of damage. While Sion has a Wind Shield, his Tenacity and Dragonspeak Resist are increased by 40 points.
Cyclone Arc
Enhances: Gale SurgeFor every stack of Gale Blessing Sion has, his Attack Speed is increased by 1 points, up to a maximum increase of 30 points.
For every stack of Gale Blessing Sion has, his Attack Speed is increased by 2 points, up to a maximum increase of 60 points.
When Sion is hit with a Control effect, he will only lose 20% stacks of Gale Blessing, and every time he blocks a control effect, he will gain 10 stacks of Gale Blessing.
At the start of battle, Sion gains 50 stacks of Gale Blessing.
Sion can enter the Windwalker state when he hass more than 20 stacks of Gale Blessing, during which his normal attacks will throw an extra spinning blade.
While the Wind Shield is active, Sion has a 70% chance of dodging and deflecting the damage from most enemy projectile attacks.
When Sion’s normal attacks hit a vortex or tornado, they split into 5 spinning blades.
When Sion has more than 25 stacks of Gale Blessing, he unleashes Dragon’s Fury to throw an extra 2 spinning blades, and for every 25 stacks of Gale Blessing he has, he generates an extra vortex, up to a max of 4 vortices.
While the Wind Shield is active, Sion’s normal attacks throw 2 extra spinning blades, which can be split into multiple blades. Each Wind Shield can throw a maximum of 10 spinning blades.
