Overview

Maintain stable soldier zones to safely farm and outscale Sylas's early pressure.
Avoid extended fights before soldiers are threatening to prevent Sylas all-ins.
Use controlled spacing and wave states to deny Sylas melee trades and snowball.

Trading pattern

Use (W) to create soldiers and (Q) to poke from max range.
Save (E) and (R) for repositioning or disengaging Sylas's all-in attempts.
Punish Sylas when (E) is on cooldown or missed by stepping forward with soldiers.

Danger windows

Sylas is most dangerous when (E) is up for engage knockup; respect this cooldown.
Avoid using (E) aggressively without (R) ready to escape Sylas all-ins.
If (R) is down or (E) is used defensively, play cautiously to avoid burst.

Early game

Poke with (W) and (Q) while respecting (E) engage knockup.
Punish missed (E) by stepping forward with soldier poke to deny trades.
Hold wave near mid to prevent Sylas from easily engaging or roaming.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants major defensive and pick potential; track its cooldown.
First completed mage DPS item boosts soldier damage, enabling stronger trades.
Respect Sylas's level 3 skirmish combo and level 6 ultimate windows to avoid forced fights.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining CS access with soldier poke and denying Sylas melee trades.
Use (R) to disrupt Sylas's all-ins and force unfavorable fights.
Outscale Sylas by reaching item spikes and controlling fights with soldier DPS and positioning.
