How to play it
✓ DO

Dodge his Q
His Q outranges your autos and its far end detonates for bonus damage — never sit at the tip of the shackle.

Punish his E dash
Save Vault for his E — knock him back as he dashes in and his gap-closer is gone, so you can kite him freely.

Play aggressive
You beat him hard — he leans on his ult, and hijacking yours just leaves you both without a combat ult.
✕ DON'T
⛔
Never waste your Vault — always save it to knock Sylas back when he E-dashes onto you.
