The Darius versus Sion matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Darius deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Sion has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Sion, ranking 32nd (versus 45th for Darius) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Darius player to maintain constant pressure on Sion, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
