Sylas vs Neeko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Sylas is a high-agency melee skirmisher who must use E to engage and W to sustain through Neeko's poke and burst.
Pressure Neeko early to deny her calm scaling and prevent her from using disguise and minion angles effectively.

Trading pattern

Engage with E to close distance, use W to sustain through Neeko Q and E damage.
Respect Neeko R and root cooldowns; trade aggressively when Neeko R or Neeko E are down.
Avoid prolonged trades if E is missed or W is on cooldown to reduce risk from Neeko's burst.

Danger windows

Respect Neeko R availability as it provides knock-up and shield, making all-ins risky.
Avoid engaging if E is missed or W is down, as sustain and crowd control are reduced.
Beware of Neeko E root through minions enabling her burst and follow-up damage.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to unlock full Q-W-E trade combo and threaten Neeko's poke.
Avoid extended trades if E is down to prevent being punished by Neeko's root and burst.
Punish Neeko if she misses Neeko E root by engaging quickly with E and W trades.

Power spikes

Sylas major spikes: Level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E combo; Level 6 R for valuable ultimates; first completed AP skirmish item.
Neeko major spikes: Level 6 Neeko R ultimate for burst and crowd control; first completed AP burst item.

Win conditions

Use E to engage or threaten and force Neeko to miss Neeko E to open windows for extended trades with W.
Steal impactful ultimates at level 6 to turn fights and punish Neeko's reliance on R.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Neeko safe scaling and disguise setups, controlling the pace of the lane.

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