Sylas vs Syndra

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Sylas is a high-agency melee skirmisher who must use E to engage and threaten Syndra's poke and control.
Pressure the lane early to deny Syndra safe scaling and avoid giving her passive farm windows.

Trading pattern

Use E to engage or threaten, then trade with autos and W for sustain before disengaging if cooldowns expire.
Respect Syndra E cooldown to avoid her stun and burst combo.
Avoid committing if E misses as you become vulnerable to Syndra's poke and burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious when E or W are down, as sustain and escape are limited.
Syndra E stun plus R burst is lethal; respect this combo especially post-level 6.
Missing E engage leaves Sylas vulnerable to Syndra poke and possible all-in.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to unlock Q-W-E skirmish pattern for trades with sustain.
Avoid extended poke without W or E ready to escape.
Punish Syndra when Syndra E is on cooldown since her stun threat is down.

Power spikes

Sylas spikes at level 3 with Q-W-E combo and at level 6 with R if Syndra's ultimate is valuable.
First completed AP skirmish item significantly boosts trade potential.
Respect Syndra's level 6 Syndra R for burst all-in windows.

Win conditions

Use E to engage and force extended trades leveraging W sustain and stolen ultimates for advantage.
Punish Syndra's immobility and lack of escape when her E is down by all-inning.
Deny Syndra safe scaling by maintaining lane pressure and exploiting cooldown windows.

Tip: For Sylas vs Syndra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
