Who Wins
- You dominate levels 1-3 with superior range and Q poke, forcing Sylas to farm under tower or take unfavorable trades.
- At level 6, you lose kill pressure as Sylas can steal your R and use it more effectively than you can, while also gaining significant burst potential.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to poke with Q when Sylas goes for CS, then use W if he tries to engage to absorb his burst combo.
- Always maintain your passive Fear stacks and use them when he commits with E, as this will interrupt his combo and allow for counter-damage.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Sylas farm while staying safe from ganks and his all-in potential.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Sylas excels at roaming and you want to keep him in lane where you have the advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your W shield on minor poke, save it for when Sylas commits with his full E-W-Q combo to maximize its effectiveness.
- Don't use your R aggressively when Sylas has his R available, as he can steal it and use your own ultimate against you more effectively.
