Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and mana efficiency, using Q to poke while staying outside his E range and building passive stacks.
- At level 6, you lose significant kill pressure since Sylas can steal your R, giving him your escape while removing your safety net and burst combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern starts with Q to slow and build passive stacks, followed by E forward only if you can guarantee the W stun or have R available for escape.
- Always proc your passive with auto attacks before disengaging, as the movement speed helps you kite away from his follow-up.
Wave Control
- Maintain wave control by using Q to clear waves efficiently while keeping the minion line closer to your side for safety.
- Focus on short trades and roaming opportunities rather than extended laning, since Sylas becomes increasingly dangerous as the game progresses.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W predictably when Sylas has E available, as he can easily gap close and avoid the stun zone while engaging on you.
- Avoid all-ins after level 6 unless Sylas has already used your stolen R, since he can use it both offensively for damage and defensively to escape your retaliation.
