Sylas's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Petricite Burst (P)

After casting a spell, Sylas stores a charge of Petricite Burst. Sylas's basic attacks will expend a charge and whirl his energized chains around him dealing bonus magic damage to enemies hit. While Sylas has a charge of Petricite Burst, he gains attack speed.

Playing as Senna

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Collect every soul

    Attack the souls held by the Mist whenever you can: each soul freed with Absolution (passive) increases your AD, attack range and crit chance.

  2. One beam to heal and damage

    Fire Piercing Darkness (Q) through an ally or an enemy to hit both: the beam heals your allies, and damages and slows enemies in the line.

  3. Last Embrace on a slowed target

    Cast Last Embrace (W) on a target that's already slowed or immobilized: after a short delay, they and nearby enemies are rooted.

  4. Hide your team in the Mist

    Cast Curse of the Black Mist (E) to engage or escape with your team: allies who enter it are camouflaged, then fast and unselectable.

  5. Save an ally across the map

    Cast Dawning Shadow (R) to save an ally across the map: the beam has unlimited range and shields allies.

Playing against Sylas

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep minions between his chain and you

    Stay behind your minions after his Abscond (E): the Abduct (E) chain pulls him to the first enemy hit, and only that one takes the knock-up.

  2. Don't trust his low health

    Don't go all-in just because his health is low: Kingslayer (W) heals him more as he loses health.

  3. Back off after each of his spells

    Get out of his range as soon as he casts a spell: each spell charges Petricite Burst (passive), and his next auto hits around him with bonus magic damage.

  4. Fight when he can't steal from you

    Take the fight when Hijack (R) is on cooldown: he then can't copy your ult and turn it against your team.
