Sylas Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths

Really good poke and wave clear with his Chain LashQ. The slow also allows him set ganks for his Jungler and allows him to whittle his laner down.

His KingslayerW can allow him to heal a lot of health in dire situations. Being a point and click, it is quite easy to land and can easily change the tide of a fight.

The initial cast of his Abscond / AbductE allows him to dash to a certain location. This can allow him to dodge skillshots and also get on an immobile or vulnerable carry.

Weaknesses

His Ultimate HijackR is completely dependent on the enemy team comp. If the enemy has lacklustre ultimates, Sylas won’t be able to do much.

If used improperly, his KingslayerW can get him killed due to him getting displaced to another location. If the enemy purchases Grievous Wounds, they can easily counter this heal by a good amount.

Proper vision placement can ruin his chances of being able to flank the enemy team with his Abscond / AbductE. He won’t be able to effectively impact a fight when he can’t flank the enemy team.

Game plan
Early game
0 - 15 min
Sylas is Average

Your goal in the early game is to gank as often as possible to get your allies ahead. You are a strong early game Jungler, so make sure you try to exploit your early advantage.

Look to secure objectives whenever they’re up. This will give your team an advantage as the game goes along.

Find a healthy balance between ganking your allies, farming your jungle and securing objectives. Make sure you do not fall behind in XP by trying to constantly gank.

Mid game
15 - 25 min
Sylas is Strong

Continue to pick up and secure jungle camps whenever possible. Not falling behind in the mid-game is crucial as a Jungler, so make sure you continue to farm!

As you’re a Jungler, you need to try and secure every Drake during the mid-game. Getting them and securing the Dragon Soul for your team will increase your chances of winning the game.

Look for picks with your team. If you can pick someone off, make the call for Baron or Dragon to further your lead.

Late game
25+ min
Sylas is Strong

Look to take down the enemy carries. Focus the backline and try to take them out of the fight. Focus them with your other frontline champions.

As you’re the Jungler, you need to make sure you’re always alive in the late game. If you die before a major objective spawns, the enemy will be able to take it.

Make sure you are always on the side of the map that the next major objective is on. If the Baron is up, always stay on the top side. If you go bot and show yourself, the enemy will take the objective for free.

Power Spikes
Early game0 - 15 min

His early game ganks are phenomenal as he can quickly get on enemies with his KingslayerW and Abscond / AbductE. Ganking overextended enemies will help him a lot.

Level six is a massive power spike for him, but the power will totally depend on the enemy team's composition. He will have to ensure that he takes the proper ultimates to be effective in the game.

The first item component will bolster his overall damage and will let him take over fights with ease. It will also help him with his Jungle camps and his overall survivability in the game.

Mid game15 - 25 min

His first ability will be maxed out at level 9. This will give him a massive damage boost and allow him to blow up single targets with ease.

Sylas is quite decent in a team fight, especially if he gets an AoE-based ultimate from the enemy team. His life steal will prevent him from dying quickly.

Multiple points in his Ultimate HijackR will allow him to take enemy ultimates quickly. They will increase their effectiveness as a whole. It can be highly beneficial in team fights.

Late game25+ min

A fully maxed out Ultimate HijackR will allow Sylas to take over the game very quickly. The power of his Ultimate HijackR will still depend on the enemy team comp, but he will be able to use more ultimates in a given time.

Sylas will have many items during this phase of the game. It will boost both his survivability and damage in the game and let him single-handedly deal with multiple targets efficiently.

His overall damage will be really high during this phase of the game. The burst damage he can deal will completely catch enemies off-guard and ruin their chances of winning the game.
