Sion vs Anivia Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Anivia matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 27 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 70.4% win rate compared to Anivia's 29.6%, giving Sion a 40.7 percentage point advantage. Sion dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Anivia players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sion leads by 2,205 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sion players can confidently pick into Anivia and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Anivia away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
794Sion
992Anivia
Anivia heavily out-damages Sion by 197 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Sion should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Anivia's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,136Sion
12,337Anivia
Sion earns 800 more gold per game than Anivia, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Sion slightly faster item completions.
Utility
1.5Sion
2.6Anivia
Anivia brings significantly more crowd control than Sion, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Anivia far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Sion should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
3,042Sion
837Anivia
Sion vastly out-sustains Anivia, healing and mitigating 2,205 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Sion can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Anivia is forced to recall.
