Tips and Tricks

Unstoppable Onslaught is a great way to initiate a teamfight as it deals damage and stuns multiple enemies, but you're restricted to a straight line so make sure you can land it.

You can also use Unstoppable Onslaught to ensure Sion escapes from unwinnable battles.

The best combo here is Roar of the Slayer to slow down an enemy, followed by Decimating Smash.
