Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you lose the scuttle fight against Sylas because his E dash and W sustain let him trade efficiently while your Q is your only reliable engage tool and his burst outpaces your damage before you have stacks on W.
From level 6, you can win a 1v1 only if you land Q to close the gap, immediately proc W frost stacks, and use R to interrupt his E repositioning — if he gets to freely kite and heal with W, you will lose the extended fight.

Sylas most commonly runs a full clear starting Red side (Red > Krugs > Raptors > Wolves > Blue > Gromp) or a mirror path depending on matchup, then looks to gank mid or bot early since his E mobility makes him a strong ganker in lanes with crowd control setup.
Expect him to contest scuttle around 3:15–3:30 after his first clear.

You should not invade Sylas early because his W sustain and E mobility make him extremely difficult to kill in his own jungle where he has terrain to dash around, and you lack the burst to punish him before he heals back.
If you want to apply pressure, wait until after level 6 when your R gives you a hard lockdown tool, and look to counter-gank rather than invade directly.

Do not try to fight Sylas in an open area without landing Q first — walking up to auto him without a freeze proc is a losing trade because his E lets him reposition instantly and his W heals off your health pool.
Avoid extended fights where he can cycle his abilities freely; your win condition is a hard engage with R into immediate W burst, not a prolonged skirmish.
