Sylas vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Sylas is a high-agency melee skirmisher who must use E to engage and extended trades with W for sustain.
Pressure Yone early to deny his scaling and avoid letting him freely use E + Q combo for trades.

Trading pattern

Engage with E to start trades, follow up with autos and W for healing, then disengage if cooldowns are down.
Punish Yone when his E is on cooldown or he fails to hit Q knockup.
Avoid all-ins if E or W is down, as Sylas is vulnerable to Yone's burst and knockups.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sylas's E or W is on cooldown, as Yone can punish missed engages hard.
Respect Yone's E engage and Q3 knockup for all-in windows.
A well-timed Yone R can instantly turn fights, so avoid extended trades when it's available.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to unlock full Q-W-E combo and threaten Yone's engage.
Avoid melee range poke damage by respecting Yone's Q stacks and E engage timing.
Punish Yone when he uses E poorly or misses his Q knockup setup.

Power spikes

Sylas's level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E skirmish combo with dash, chain, and sustain.
Sylas's level 6 R can turn fights if valuable enemy ultimates are available.
Respect Yone's level 3 Q-W-E combo with E extension and W shield for trades.

Win conditions

Use E to engage and threaten trades, then leverage W healing and stolen ultimates to win extended fights.
Punish Yone's E cooldown and missed Q knockups to gain lane control.
Deny Yone a calm scaling lane by applying pressure and forcing him to play reactively.

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