Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Goliath

    Prismatic

    Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.

    Why on Sion

    The extra Health raises the max Health damage of your Soul Furnace (W) detonation and keeps you alive while you charge Decimating Smash (Q).

  2. Tank Engine

    Gold

    Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.

    Why on Sion

    Soul Furnace (W) already grants max Health on takedowns, and Tank Engine adds percent bonus Health per takedown too, growing your W detonation damage.

  3. Heavy Hitter

    Silver

    Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 3.5% of your max Health.

    Why on Sion

    The max Health you stack through Soul Furnace (W) becomes damage on every attack, and the rapid attacks of Glory in Death (passive) apply it many times.
