Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and poke potential, but must respect Sylas's all-in threat once he hits level 3 with E-W combo.
- Post-6 becomes significantly more dangerous as Sylas can steal your R and use it more effectively in close combat while having gap-close tools to reach you.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q-E-auto combos from maximum range, immediately backing away after casting to avoid retaliation.
- Never commit to extended trades as Sylas will out-sustain you with W and has higher DPS in prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minions between you and Sylas, preventing clean E engages while building up CS advantages.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision control, as being pushed up makes you extremely vulnerable to his gap-close combos.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use Q aggressively without knowing Sylas's E cooldown, as missing your only self-peel tool often results in death.
- Avoid standing near low-health minions where Sylas can E through them to gap-close onto you unexpectedly.
