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 Quinn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her Blinding Assault

    Dodge Blinding Assault (Q): it marks you with Harrier, which empowers her next auto on you, and reduces your vision.

  2. Engage after her Vault

    If you can engage, wait until she has used Vault (E): it's her only spell to push you away, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.

  3. Hit her during her flight

    If Quinn passes within your range during Behind Enemy Lines (R), hit her: one hit makes her lose her speed bonus for a moment.

  4. Ping when she leaves lane

    Ping your team as soon as she leaves lane: after a 2-second channel, Behind Enemy Lines (R) gives her a large speed boost.
