How to play it

✓ DO

Bait her E

Her E is her one hard engage-stopper — throw out E1 to bait it, and only commit once it's gone.

Engage with E2

With her E spent, engage with E2 — and press it in the mid game, where you're the stronger of two strong scalers.

Skip her ult

Don't rush to steal her R — on Sylas it's base damage only since you hold zero spheres, so it hits weak.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never engage with E2 before her E is baited out — walking your all-in into her stun throws the trade.
