Sylas Matchups

Hard Counters

Cassiopeia★★★

Cassiopeia grounds you, preventing your E engage, and out-DPSes you in extended trades.

Renekton★★★

Renekton W stun breaks your trading pattern and his early damage overwhelms your healing.

Poppy★★★

Poppy W blocks your E dash engage entirely and her anti-dash field ruins your all-in combo.

Favorable Matchups

Malphite

Malphite ultimate is incredible when stolen and his poke is easily healed through with your W.

Cho'gath

Chogath ultimate is a fantastic steal giving you a true damage execute with bonus health stacking.

Neeko

Neeko ultimate is powerful when stolen and she lacks the burst to kill you through your W heal.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Identify which enemy ultimate is the best to steal before teamfights and prioritize hijacking it.
• 2.Use W heal at low health to maximize the missing health bonus healing.
• 3.Chain E1 into E2 for a gap close and knockup to start your burst combo.
