Sylas Matchups Overview
Sylas General information
Sylas tips and tricks
During the laning phase, think twice before using your E. Check the map to ensure the Jungler’s not nearby and ready to gank you. If they’re not nearby, you can use your
E aggressively.
Think twice before stealing somebodies Ultimate. As Sylas’ Ultimate R can be game-changing, make sure you take the most impactful enemy Ultimate for late game team fights.
Play around your Passive as much as possible to deal more damage while trading.
