Playing as Sylas

  • 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.

Playing against Sylas

  • Sylas's healthbar can be deceptive, watch out for his Kingslayer!
