General Strategy, Synergy and Utilization
Darth Sion is a disruptive Sith tank who likes to Taunt his enemies. He provides cover for his allies while not completely sacrificing himself, taking only as much damage as will benefit him and his Triumvirate allies. Darth Sion is capable of lasting a very long time thanks to his unique buff, "Hatred," which allows him to revive and increase his damage output considerably. In addition to being a bruiser, Sion establishes control of the fight and serves as a strong foundation to anchor the defense of any Sith squad. When used with the full Triumvirate, he can use "Held by Hatred" extremely quickly, and becomes a menace on the battlefield. Additionally, when Sion inflicts "Pain" on his enemies, he'll not only deal bonus damage to those enemies, but it reduces the cooldown of "Held by Hatred," ramping up his damage and allowing him to attack more often.
