Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 with Q poke and vital procs, but Sylas becomes dangerous post-6 when he can steal your R and potentially out-duel you.
- His stolen Grand Challenge combined with his healing makes extended fights risky for you after level 6.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using Q to proc vitals then immediately back off, as Sylas wants extended fights where his passive and W healing shine.
- Avoid trading when he has W available since his sustain will negate your poke damage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish priority and deny Sylas easy last-hitting, but be ready to freeze when ahead since he struggles to break freezes safely.
- Avoid slow-pushing into him as his Q waveclear improves and he can force bad trades in large minion waves.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use R first in all-ins as Sylas will immediately steal it and turn your own ultimate against you with better base stats.
- Don't chase him through minion waves where his Q chains can hit multiple targets and deal massive damage.
