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 Warwick

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hold your bite

    Hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) to latch onto your target: you follow all their movement, dashes included, then leap behind them.

  2. Tank, then fear

    Cast Primal Howl (E) in the middle of the fight: you take less damage, then the howl fears nearby enemies. Recast it to fear sooner.

  3. Leap onto their carry

    Cast Infinite Duress (R) on their carry: you suppress the first champion hit and heal for all the damage dealt. Your move speed lengthens the leap.

  4. Follow the trail of the wounded

    Follow the Blood Hunt (W) trails: you sense champions below 50% health and gain speed toward them, three times more below 25%.

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.
