Aurora vs Sylas

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use burst and mobility to pick Sylas off before he can engage with (E).
Manage lane pressure to deny Sylas extended trades where his sustain dominates.
Avoid long trades and punish Sylas's cooldowns to control lane tempo.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q), follow immediately with (E) to reposition and burst, then reactivate (Q).
Punish Sylas when his (E) is down or missed to deny his engage and escape.
Avoid trading right after using (W) since you lose your quick escape and (E) is easy to dodge.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup/stun engage window to avoid forced all-ins.
Avoid extended trades after using (W) since you lose your quick escape tool.
Watch for (W) heal timing to prevent him from sustaining through your burst.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Sylas unlocks his full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo.
Use (Q) and (E) for quick trades and repositioning to punish missed (E) engages.
Maintain medium lane pressure to limit Sylas's sustain and melee engage opportunities.

Power spikes

Respect Sylas's level 3 spike when he unlocks his full (Q)-(W)-(E) skirmish pattern.
Hit your level 6 ultimate to maximize mobility and burst for picks and roams.
Pressure after your first AP burst item to turn neutral trades into winning ones.

Win conditions

Pick Sylas off when his (E) is on cooldown or missed to snowball lane control.
Pressure waves and force Sylas to respect your (Q)-(E) combo to deny extended trades.
Use your level 6 and first AP item spikes to secure kills and roam pressure.
