How to play it

✓

Respect his E

You can't trade while his E is up: Abduct is his engage and setup, so wait for it to be down before you commit.

✓

Half his damage is passive

Keep in mind ~50% of Sylas's damage comes from his passive: every trade is worse than the ability icons make it look.

✓

Don't hug the minions

Don't stand too close to the minion wave: his passive procs off them and pokes you for free while you farm.

✕

Never trade into him while his E is up: with half his damage on his passive, that exchange is always worse than it looks.
