Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through Q shield trades and superior range, making it difficult for Sylas to engage without taking significant damage.
- Post-6: Sylas becomes dangerous with your stolen R, so respect his all-in potential and maintain distance.
How to Trade
- Use Q-auto trades when Sylas goes for CS, then back away before he can retaliate with his combo.
- Place W preemptively when he tries to engage, forcing him to either commit through the slow or disengage unfavorably.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming Hex Fragments safely while using E to clear waves and poke simultaneously.
- Maintain distance and use your range advantage to prevent Sylas from finding favorable engage angles.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your ultimate carelessly, as Sylas stealing it gives him significant kill pressure on you.
- Avoid fighting in melee range where his sustain and burst combo can overwhelm your sustained damage output.
