Lucian vs Sylas

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 burst with support setup to punish Sylas's melee engage attempts.
Avoid prolonged trades where Sylas's sustain and melee range overpower your short-range burst.
Deny Sylas wave control to limit his all-in windows and reduce his healing effectiveness.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts after support setup, using (Q) through minions to punish Sylas's positioning.
Dodge (E) engage with (E) defensively, then counterattack before his (W) cooldown resets.
Avoid extended fights where Sylas's sustain and stolen ultimates outvalue your burst.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup engage; avoid dashing forward without cooldowns or support.
Beware of (W) heal during extended trades; avoid prolonged fights.
Track (R) availability; hold defensive tools for his all-in or roam threat.

Early game

Contest level 2 aggressively with support to force Sylas off the wave before he unlocks full combo.
Avoid using (E) forward without support or cooldown advantage to prevent easy punishment.
Thin waves early to enable quick burst trades and reduce minion damage during engagements.

Power spikes

Level 2: Unlock (Q) and (E) for burst trades; force Sylas to play cautiously.
First marksman item: Increase burst threat to force recalls or win early fights.
Level 6: Use (R) to finish targets pushed out by your poke, but avoid predictable channeling.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and support synergy to deny Sylas free scaling and force resets.
Punish missed (E) engages by stepping up for burst trades and crashing waves.
Leverage (R) to finish targets off after poke or force Sylas to reset, securing lane priority.

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