Sion 3 star

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
  • It's honestly pretty sad. I'm on a November 2015 shard and a maxed GK works better than a maxed Shore on a Plap team. Sion isn't better than GK either. He only works if you run him with Sith Trooper - and even that team is beatable without too much trouble by the same team with GK as the only tank on the other side.

    Sion looked like he was going to be a great DS/Sith Tank - but GK is still the best....even on a Palp lead team.
  • Look...

    Gk is the best tank in the game. Period. He brings ridiculous light side privilege utility to any squad.

    However a 3-4* Sion performs well depending on mods. In a sith squad (with good mods) I prefer Sion. Anywhere else gk rules. If EP's leadership affected all Darksiders (as it should in my opinion) then I'd say kru would be good there... But sadly he doesn't receive anything from EP's leadership.

    I have him 3* g11 and zeta, and works perfectly under zzPalp squad.


    How did you mod him? How old is your shard? I have him 4* with 3 x g11 pieces and he doesnt perform that well in a solo tank scenario.

    My shard is April 2016, full of whales from top guilds.

    Now i'm running Sion under Rex, but used him with Palp lead and works pretty good as well. I like to mod with 4 protection mods, want him to hold on until triggers "hatred". Then he will crit for around 25k.

    If u have enough speed on mods u can run him as a solo tank, otherwise might need another one like Kenobi or Shore alongside for better performance.

    Sion is definitely useful at 3*, just not so much without DN.


    He's either better than Kenobi or not, there is no useful
