Passive, spells and ultimate

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 Sejuani

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her charge

    Dodge Arctic Assault (Q) to the side: enemies it passes through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.

  2. Leave before her second swing

    Get out of range before the second swing of Winter's Wrath (W): it deals most of the damage and slows.

  3. Watch her melee allies too

    With Frost stacks on you, watch out for her melee allies too: their autos apply them, and at 4, Permafrost (E) stuns you.

  4. Don't be first in her bola's path

    Don't be the first champion in the path of Glacial Prison (R): that champion is stunned, longer if the bola comes from far away.
