Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and wave control with Q poke.
- Post-6 becomes Sylas-favored as he can steal your R and has better all-in potential with his mobility and sustain.
How to Trade
- You want to Q poke when Sylas goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid his E engage.
- Never extended trade unless you land W root first, as his sustained damage and healing will win longer fights.
Wave Control
- You should push early waves with Q to establish priority and roam timing.
- Maintain minion advantage to block his E dashes and make his engages predictable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid using R defensively when low HP as Sylas can immediately steal and execute you with it.
- Don't waste W defensively against his E1 since he can still E2 after the root expires.
