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.
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.
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.
Unless you are in a really old shard
But if ur arena leaderboard already fill with *7 sion, i think u better forget the *3 sion plan hmm
Superfast, always everyone on arena teams with a few rare exceptions like baze

You can't g12 a 4* character.
He is good at 3*, I personally use him with a zeta. If you have many other Palp teams in your shard and the majority of them run a GK instead of Sion, you'll be able to auto them easily.
He may allow you to win a battle when climbing for payout but you'll immediately become a target and drop many ranks. You are better off using another tank. Arena many times is psychological, people will attack you just because your team appears to have a weakness over a group of identical teams.
Lastly let me say that don't let this discourage you from gearing him and trying for yourself since sooner or later he will become farmable, meaning that you will eventually 7star him and so the gear isn't gonna be wasted.
There are probably 10 other characters that can allow you to finish at those ranks
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.
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.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
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.
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.
