How to play it

Respect his W
Kingslayer executes low-health targets and heals Sylas when it kills: never sit at low HP near him.
Watch his E
His E is a dash he uses to close distance or escape: track it before you commit to a trade.
Dodge his Q
Chain Lash is a skillshot that refunds its cooldown on hit: dodging it denies him easy poke and tempo.
Never let your health dip into execute range while trading with him: Kingslayer is a hard execute that also heals him on the kill.
