Im wondering how viable sion is at 3 star? My current arena team is double zeta palp vader shore zhrawn (eb n flow) zarkin (unique) all 7 star g12. Was considering leveling and gearing sion to replace the beast that is tarkin but need to know if hes viable at 3 star

I use him with Palp zeta lead, Vader Nihilus Thrawn.
I feel he is too squishy for being a Tank.
Once he got one shot from 100%health no protection by Wedge, who also had Pain (so 100% defense for Sion)
Many times he dies before I can really use him.
Not a bad character to use (relatively good on 3*) but nowdays Tanks have little role beyond just being a meat wall.
You would probably need a second tank as well, I usually fall ~20 place (120-> 140), but it has also happened that I fell 100+ overnight.

Wedge can't one shot Sion with full hp and protection, the numbers just don't add up. Your mods probably were very bad, you should have added alot more protection

He specifically said no protection.

honestly, the biggest downside to using Sion at any level under 7* is that you can't bring him to g12. The boost to his health and protection from g11 to g12 makes a huge difference in whether he can survive long enough to be useful. I currently have mine at 5* g11 and i do use him in arena but I tend to get targeted over the others in my shard who whaled out the entire way with him. Therefore, I drop more than others over night

Hello,

I believe there is a video on you-tube that actually argues this point and they have said that he is viable in the arena at 3 star. For more details I would search there.

That's why he is amazing at gear 12, 7 star. He eats everything and hits back harder.

I was thinking of using him at 4 stars but I don’t think he is better than GK at that level and he needs another tank to really be effective anyway.

Plus, he really isn’t that great outside of arena and TW, so his utility is limited.

So I decided to pass on him until he becomes farmable.

3* probably not. He is a tank and generally speaking tanks need stars and all the gear they can get. Stars help health fair amount.

He is viable at 3* g11 with another tank

Unless you are in a really old shard

At *3 probably he can hold (as a tank), if u use 6x full defence mods set with primary n secondary protection or defence. Will increase ur armor n resistance, but sacrafice ur speed. If sion not fast enough and can't landed his pain debuff, he's useless.

But if ur arena leaderboard already fill with *7 sion, i think u better forget the *3 sion plan hmm

Only if you are prepared to give him a zeta and run another tank with him.
