Champion Build Guide

Introduction

Hey,
I'm Mr.Briosa a player that's been playing since season 8 (I played in the past but I didn't know how to play the game and I leave it behind).
My Favorite champion is because is an interesting champion in the game. With a interesting history.

"No more cages!"

About Sylas

is a stong champion, but difficult to learn this champion. We can call him a stealer, why? Because he steal the Ults from the enemy champions, that's making Sylas special. You can do a lot of combos with this Champion.

"So... who wants to kill the king?"

Pros & Cons

PROS

+ Can escape from fight with E
+ Burst damage
+ Can knockup champions
+ Can slow move champions
+ Many ultimates that helps him
+ Fun to play

is known as the best champion in the game. When before nerfs... He counters some of the champions. He has the use of many useful ultimates to win the game. Mostly with 's ultimate ().

CONS

- Huge CD on skills
- Hard to recover when behind
- If missing skills, you're dead
- Useless if enemies have useless ultimates
- Cannot jungle that great anymore

is not doing that well in early. He needs to win first his lane to win the game. You need to be careful with him or you'll end up with a loose. He is like other champions (ex. ). Died once, can't do anything, just farm.

"They work their fingers to the bone serving a king they'll never meet! I must show them there is more to life!"

Runes

PRECISION

CONQUEROR
Conqueror: Grants you 2-6 for 2 by attacking or using abilities stacking up to 5 times to a max of 10-30. When you get 5 stacks, 8% of your damage against champion is converted to true damage and heal for that amount. It's a great rune for Sylas, but we'll see what I will do with the rune when it's gonna be changed.

PRECISION TREE
Triumph: This is the best rune in the game. Helps you staying alive when in a winning close 1v1.

PRECISION TREE
Legend: Tenacity: You'll gain 5% tenacity plus an additional 2.5% for every Legend stack (max 10 stacks). There's no other choices to go if they don't have any CC in the enemy team. If you want, you can go Legend: Alacrity for attack speed.

PRECISION TREE
Last Stand: While you are below 60% health, you'll deal 5-11% increased damaged to champions. Max damage gained at 30% health. Last Stand is a great rune for Sylas when he'll mostly be low on health when in team fights.

RESOLVE

AFTERSHOCK
Conqueror: After immobilizing an enemy, Sylas's Armor and Magic Resist will increase by 70 +50% of his Bonus Resists for 2.5 seconds. Then explode, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies.

RESOLVE TREE
Shield Bash: While shielded, Sylas gains 1-10 (based on level) bonus armor and magic resistance. Since his E has been changed to a magic shield, It's not that great with Shield Bash…

RESOLVE TREE
Bone Plating: After taking damage from the enemy, the next 3 spells or attacks you get 30-60 less damage for a duration of 1.5 seconds. Sylas can work with tanky runes too.

RESOLVE TREE
Second Wind: Heals Sylas for %4 of your missing health for 10 seconds if taking damage from an enemy champion. It's like Pyke's passive ( Gift of the Drowned Ones) but a badly version. It's a great rune to take on Sylas in my opinion. Helps you too.

RESOLVE TREE
Revitalize: This rune is my favorite to take on Sylas. Heals and shields are 5% stronger and increased by an additional 10% on targets below 40% health. The best combo with Kingslayer by getting a lot of health.

RESOLVE TREE
Overgrowth: Is great for Support. Permanently gains maximum health for every 8 monster or minions that die near you. Will gain an additional +3.5% max health if reached 120 minion or monster deaths.

DOMINATION

ELECTROCUTE
Electrocute: Hitting a champion with unique attacks or abilities within 3 seconds deals bonus adaptive damage. In my opinion Electrocute is good to take only against an Assassin or Yasuo.

DOMINATION TREE
Sudden Impact: Sylas gets 7 Lethality and 6 Magic Penetration for 5 seconds.

DOMINATION TREE
Eyeball Collection: You already know the deal. The more Sylas collects eyeballs per kill, the more damage he does. Up to 10 eyeballs.

DOMINATION TREE
Ravenous Hunter: Heal for 1.5% (+2.5% per Bounty) of the damage dealt by your abilities. Great rune when Sylas is based on regenerating himself.

SORCERY

SORCERY TREE
Manaflow Band: Hitting an enemy with a spell, Sylas will grant 25 maximum mana up to 250 mana.

SORCERY TREE
Transcendence: Gain 10% CDR when level 10. Not a bad rune for Sylas. The bad thing that the rune activates himself when level 10...

SORCERY TREE
Absolute Focus: While Sylas is above 70% health, he'll gain an adaptive bonus of 1.8-18 AD or 3-30 AP (based on level ofc).

SORCERY TREE
Gathering Storm: You know what this rune does, do you? Every 10 minutes, Sylas will gain AP or AD.

INSPIRATION

INSPIRATION TREE
Magical Footwear: After 12 minutes, Sylas will gain a pare of boots. At least he gets boots when his feet has no shoe on it. Still, the rune is ok but you are forced to make some kills if you want them fast. If not, enjoy yourself farming.

INSPIRATION TREE
Biscuit Delivery: This rune gives some snacks for Sylas for every 2 mins. Max min reach is by 6 min. Helps you restoring 10% of your missing health and manna. Even if the rune got nerfed, it still kicks.

INSPIRATION TREE
Time Warp Tonic: You get 50% of its health and mana. You also gain movement by 5% when using a potion. This rune helps Sylas if against counters, but I'm not a big fan of Inspiration because it's only a rune for early.

INSPIRATION TREE
Cosmic Insight: +5% CDR, Max CDR, Summoner Spell CDR, Item CDR. It gud.

Abilities

PASSIVE ABILITY

Petricite Burst

: After casting a spell, 's next basic attack whirls his energized chains around him dealing bonus magic damage to enemies hit.

Chain Lash

: lashes out with his chains, damaging and slightly slowing enemies. After a brief delay, the intersection of the chains detonates, applying an increased slow and damaging enemies again.

Kingslayer

: lunges at a target with a powerful strike, damaging them and healing himself. If the enemy is at low health, the damage is increased; if Sylas is at low health, the heal is increased.

Abscond / Abduct

: dashes a short distance and shields himself.

For a short time, he can recast the ability to whip out his chains, stunning, damaging, and pulling himself to the first enemy hit.

Hijack

: hijacks an enemy’s ultimate for his own use.

Enemies can still use their ultimates if Sylas takes them. Sylas can take an enemy’s ultimate whenever Hijack is off cooldown, but can’t hijack the same enemy for a while after.

"Magic cannot be caged!"

Spells

FLASH

✦
Teleports your champion toward your cursor's location. is a must take spell on . Doesn't seem to have another choice between and a random spell. Helps you escape from a pickle situation or use it to reach the enemy.

TELEPORT

✦
After channeling for 4 seconds, teleports your champion to target allied minion, turret, or ward. is a better choice than since needs to be back on his lane when he has problems in early. Or you can roam Bot or Top.

IGNITE

✦
Ignites target enemy champion, dealing 70-410 true damage (depending on champion level) over 5 seconds and applying Grievous Wounds to them for the duration (Grievous Wounds reduces all healing received and regeneration rates by 40%).

"No prison can hold me!"
