Tips Against Sylas in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Real_Zefath says “Sylas deal's so much AOE damage in his kit that it's very easy to make the clone explode on him. On top of that, he also has a dash on his E making it easy to bait him into boxes.”

EddeEken says “Respect his early skirmish power and don’t let him steal your ult in teamfights”

Arctic Arrow says “Sylas Jungle can’t clear efficiently and relies on early ganks to stay relevant. His first path is always three camps into a forced gank, because his full clear is too slow and leaves him low HP. If you match or punish that first move, the game is instantly yours — he never recovers tempo. 🧠 Gameplan Summary ✅ Ward and track early — expect 3-camp gank or invade at 2:30. ✅ Mirror his path and punish his first failed gank; he’ll be useless after. ✅ Fight him early — you outstat and outclear him easily. ⚠️ If he steals your R later, just wait it out; he can’t survive your burst. ✅ Once you get tempo lead, invade freely — Sylas Jungle can’t play from behind.”

Judgementlol says “after jungle buffs he's pretty strong because his build involves hextech rocketbelt and this item just works good with sylas you will always have troubles fighting him with lichbane vs rocketbelt”

LeBoof says “Depends on if your team feeds him, as long as you get your items you can still fight him, but only with your ult.”

raphnalin says “Invade early, build MR, and he won't do anything against... our clear is better, our 1v1 is better...”

Crow7420 says “Dead champ in the Jungle, however he is incredibly difficult to gank early on due to his sticking power. Would advise to avoid until getting your form.”
HIKOL says “Can steal your ultimate to push lanes(double edged sword)”
Yorick - King of the Jungle by HIKOL | Yorick Player
kittygore says “He has very weak early so always Invade and Countergank. Cleanse his stun and use Bola for his dashes.”
Jackiewawa says “Meme pick. Just dodge his E with your W/E and it's hard for him to kill you unless he's fed and cheese ganks successfully. Abysmal clear so you can outtempo and level him easily.”

j4ss says “Annoying sustain, but you win most trades early on. bramble vest rush and then hollow radiance. your ult is very good for him so be careful.”
Optimal Nautilus for Midlane - Patch 25.22 by j4ss | Nautilus Player
Kolashiu says “Can push : yes Can play agressive : yes ( carefully ) Can solokill : yes Gameplan : Solokill > Play with jgl > Roam Wait for his E to bubble cuz he kills you easily if you miss. You usually always stats check sylas as long as you hit E. Ignite before he press W is key to win duels Try to dodge the 2nd hit from his Q, it's his biggest source of damage. You can R in and flip bubble You can roam but since he is also strong in skirmishes, if he follows wait him and trade him instead, you win a straight 1v1 while you make sure to hit E and have ignite for his W.”

KesNedd says “Taliyah favored. Dont be afraid, you punish hard, just make sure you have minions to cover behind so thats he cant hit E on you. Play around his cooldowns. When he hits his E on you he can be stuned by flying through your E, Its a reason why i like to freeze in this match up because whenever it happens you can insec him under your turret and thats a free kill. ”

DanyiiB says “Bárki bármit mond, Sylas egy mocsok matchup. Nagyon jó a hosszabb fightokban, van burstje, healeli magát és olcsóbbak az itemjei, így even lanen is erős marad. Én bannolom minden mid gamemben.”

Day_mico says “Easy matchup. Poke from range and if he tries to e you evade with your e and punish him”

step1v9 says “This matchup SHOULD be tryndamere favored. Try not to push into him as he wants this to get out of laning phase. Don't be afraid of eating his second E as long as it guarantees you a long trade window. If he steals your R then just force him to use it and disengage. If he uses it before you, you can always kill him.”

BurnVictim69 says “This champion performs very well against Brand thanks to his great gap closing ability and high burst damage. Avoid getting hit by his chains and focus on maintaining good spacing. Use your W+E or Q+E on the wave to poke and keep him at a distance. Once you complete Rylai’s, the matchup swings significantly in your favor.”

risnao says “- most important thing is to dodge his E then you can trade with him - BUT sm of his dmg comes from his passive and he will statcheck u - AD conq with bork is viable here”

Mohini says “Miserable. Can recover from your poke easily, his level 2-3 all-in will hurt, and he can just steal your ult and walk to the sidelanes with it. Almost always my main ban, If you do want to fight him, switch to [[Bone Plating]]+[[Shield Bash]] and get an [[oblivion orb]] early. Staying mobile and fighting around your minions will allow you to get on even footing.”
AP Malphite by Mohini | Malphite Player
Quinfrey says “Just don't get hit by his second e and you should be fine. If you feel like it isn't this easy then follow the next steps: (you can upgrade W first) 1. First put your [[Harrier]] on a minion and don´t shoot it (This is key) 2. Bring some minions between you and him - but stay in AA range and attack him when possible while dogding his Q´s ( [[Chain Lash]] ) 3. Let your minion count stay the same (!) Don't be near him without [[Harrier]] on minion OR if there aren't enough minions. For the next step you must know something about Sylas. If he used E [[Abscond / Abduct]] he dashes (E1) if he used E in a short time again (E2) he throws his chains stuns you and fck you and your whole family on hit. 5. If he E1 -> proc your [[Harrier]] use the MS to dance battle around the minions always between you and [[sylas]]. With W bonus MS you should be able to let never a "clear" angle between you 2 -> while AA him in this dance battle. 6A. If he hits a minion or miss with his E2 -> E -> AA until Dead 6B. If he did not use E2 for ~ 4 sec -> E -> AA until Dead 6C. If he hits you with E2 -> E + run -> and you still dead. Just repeat after this (if you're not dead and tilted :) ) Another important thing is his ult: [[Hijack]]. If he steals your ult: GO ALL IN! There are 2 thing that can happen: 1. He will ult mid fight and you can kill him 2. He doesn't ult and kills you but when you respawn you can ult race. Have fun!”
