Sylas

Mage

Raised in one of Demacia's lesser quarters, Sylas of Dregbourne has come to symbolize the darker side of the Great City.

Strengths

  • Wait for you or your enemy to reach low health before using Kingslayer for maximum effect.
  • Space out your ability usage to get maximum effect from Petricite Burst.
  • Clever use of enemy ultimates can open up new possibilities to approach teamfights.

Abilities

  • Passive · Petricite Burst — 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.
  • Q · Chain Lash — Sylas lashes his chains out, intersecting at his targeted location dealing damage to and slowing enemies. After a delay, magical energy explodes from the intersection point dealing damage.
  • W · Kingslayer — Sylas lunges at an enemy with magical force dealing damage and healing himself against enemy champions.
  • E · Abscond / Abduct — Sylas dashes to a location. Sylas can recast the ability to throw his chains out, pulling himself to an enemy he hits.
  • Ultimate · Hijack — Sylas steals the enemy's ultimate ability and can cast it freely.

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Sylas, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
