How to play it
DO
Respect his W
Most of his damage is burst, primarily his W (Kingslayer) — use your own W to cleanse and heal the moment he connects his combo.
Root and oneshot
Root him with E and he can't cast W or E to escape — that's your clean oneshot.
Invade at 3
He's easy to kill at level 3 — look to invade and jump him before his full kit is online.
DON'T
Never commit your leap onto a Sylas who still has Zhonya's up — you'll dump your whole combo into a stasis dummy.
