Playing as Sylas

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. An auto after each spell

    Weave an auto after each spell: Petricite Burst (passive) turns it into a chain swing around you, with bonus magic damage.

  2. Save Kingslayer for low health

    Save Kingslayer (W) to finish or to save yourself when your health drops: its healing grows with your missing health.

  3. Abscond, then throw your chain

    To engage, cast Abscond (E), then recast within 3.5 seconds: Abduct (E) pulls you to the first enemy hit and knocks them into the air.

  4. Steal the ult that decides the fight

    Cast Hijack (R) on the enemy whose ult can turn a teamfight: you keep a copy of it, cast with your own stats.

Playing against Heimerdinger

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Destroy his turrets first

    Take down his turrets before you trade, with your minions' help: each H-28 G Evolution Turret (Q) builds up charge over time, then fires a stronger shot.

  2. Dodge the center of his grenade

    Get out of the center of CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): that's where it stuns, and if it hits a champion, it fully charges his nearby turrets.

  3. All-in after his grenade

    Start your all-in or gank after CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): it's his only stun, it has an 11-second cooldown, and he has no dash.

  4. Pull him away from his turrets

    Take your trades away from his turrets: they deactivate when he moves too far from them, and Hextech Affinity (passive) speeds him up near them.

  5. Back off from his giant turret

    Stay out of his giant turret's range for its 8 seconds: placed with UPGRADE!!! (R), it slows, deals area damage and is immune to CC.
