Raised in one of Demacia's lesser quarters, Sylas of Dregbourne has come to symbolize the darker side of the Great City. As a boy, his ability to root out hidden sorcery caught the attention of the notorious mageseekers, who eventually imprisoned him for turning those same powers against them. Having now broken free, Sylas lives as a hardened revolutionary, using the magic of those around him to destroy the kingdom he once served… and his band of outcast mage followers seems to grow by the day.
Tips
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!
- Try to fight Sylas when he isn't able to take your ultimate.
