Lissandra vs Sylas

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Lissandra is a control mage who must manage Sylas's high early pressure and mobility by using W and R to lock him down.
Use medium lane pressure to deny Sylas easy engages and prevent him from snowballing with stolen ultimates.

Trading pattern

Trade when Sylas's Sylas E is on cooldown or missed, using W root to lock him for damage.
Use Q to poke and slow Sylas, then punish his melee range with W and R lockdown.
Avoid extended trades if R is down since Sylas's sustain with Sylas W is strong in those windows.

Danger windows

Sylas is most dangerous when Sylas E is up and he can engage or escape with knockup.
Avoid all-ins when Lissandra's R is down as Sylas can pressure harder with sustain and mobility.
Punish Sylas if he wastes Sylas E engage or Sylas W heal cooldowns by stepping forward.

Early game

Use Q to safely farm and poke while respecting Sylas's high early agency and E engage threat.
Hold W to root Sylas when he commits with Sylas E to punish his melee approach.
Avoid using E aggressively without follow-up as Sylas can punish missed engages hard.

Power spikes

Lissandra's major spike is level 6 with R for lockdown and self-peel.
Respect Sylas's level 3 spike when he unlocks his full Q-W-E skirmish combo.
Sylas's level 6 can be dangerous if he hijacks a strong ultimate; play around this threat.

Win conditions

Use W and R to lock Sylas when he enters melee range to neutralize his all-in threat.
Create engage angles with E and coordinate with jungle or team follow-up for kills.
Deny Sylas scaling by punishing missed Sylas E and forcing him to play cautiously under pressure.

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