Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights due to Sylas having better sustained damage with Q spam and W healing.
- From level 6, you win all-ins if you land Q first since your R reset combo outdamages his burst and he can't effectively use your stolen R without your Q mark.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Sylas will likely start his buff opposite to yours and look for a full clear into scuttle, as he needs level 3 to have kill pressure.
- He may also opt for a vertical jungle clear if he spots you starting on the same side to avoid early confrontation.
Invade or Not
- Avoid invading early as Sylas has better dueling potential pre-6 with his W sustain and Q poke.
- Your best invade timing is post-6 when you have your R combo available, targeting his krugs or gromp when you know his position on the opposite side of the map.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Q without follow-up potential, as it's your only gap closer and engage tool with a long cooldown.
- Avoid fighting in narrow jungle corridors where Sylas can easily land his E2 and full combo you without room to kite.
