build-sylas

Hey guys ! Today I will build Summoner Spells / Runes / Items / Ability Order and combo for Sylas Season 12 in League of  Legends.

Sylas is an Mage who ability to steal enemy ultimates and use it against them, makes him a solid pick into a lot of different teamcomps. Sylas can work as a flex pick, making it rather difficult for the enemies to counterpick him.

Sylas’s Ability

  • PASSIVE – PETRICITE BURST: After casting a spell, Sylas stores a charge of Petricite Burst. Sylas’s basic attacks will expend a charge and whirl his energized chains around him dealing bonus magic damage to enemies hit. While Sylas has a charge of Petricite Burst, he gains attack speed.
  • Q – CHAIN LASH: Sylas lashes his chains out, intersecting at his targeted location dealing damage to and slowing enemies. After a delay, magical energy explodes from the intersection point dealing damage.
  • W – KINGSLAYER: Sylas lunges at an enemy with magical force dealing execute based damage and healing himself against enemy champions.
  • E – ABSCOND / ABDUCT: Sylas dashes to a location. Sylas can recast the ability to throw his chains out, pulling himself to an enemy he hits.
  • R – HIJACK: Sylas steals the enemy’s ultimate ability and can cast it freely.
