Sylas vs Orianna

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Sylas is a high-agency melee skirmisher who must use E to engage and W to sustain through Orianna's poke.
Pressure Orianna early to deny her safe scaling and prevent her from controlling the lane with ball placement.

Trading pattern

Use E to engage or threaten and follow up with W for sustain and Q for slow to extend trades.
Punish Orianna when Orianna Q is on cooldown to reduce her poke threat.
Disengage if E or W is down to avoid being vulnerable to Orianna's ball control and poke.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging when E is down or missed, as Sylas becomes vulnerable to Orianna's poke and shield.
Respect Orianna R displacement, especially post level 6, which can disrupt Sylas's engage.
Be cautious when Orianna has ball positioned aggressively with Orianna Q and W ready for poke and zone control.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with Q-W-E combo before Orianna hits 6.
Avoid extended trades if you miss E engage, as Orianna can punish with poke and shields.
Manage wave to avoid being shoved under turret where Orianna's poke is safer.

Power spikes

Sylas power spikes at level 3 with full Q-W-E combo and level 6 when stealing a valuable ultimate.
Respect Orianna's level 6 R for displacement and teamfight setup.
First completed AP item boosts both champions but Sylas can leverage it for stronger trades.

Win conditions

Use E to close gap and force extended trades using W sustain, especially when Orianna's Q is down.
Steal and use Orianna's ultimate to turn fights or all-ins in your favor.
Deny Orianna safe scaling by applying lane pressure and punishing her immobility before level 6.

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