Sylas vs Talon

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Sylas is a high-agency melee skirmisher who wants to engage with E and sustain with W for extended trades.
Pressure Talon early to deny his roam windows and avoid letting him push safely for map movement.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with E to land knockup, then use W heal and Q slow to extend fights.
Punish Talon when Talon uses Talon Q dash aggressively as he is vulnerable if you dodge his follow-up.
Disengage if your E or W is on cooldown to avoid Talon's burst and roam pressure.

Danger windows

Talon's Talon R stealth and burst at level 6 is a lethal all-in threat.
Missing E engage leaves Sylas vulnerable to Talon's burst and roam follow-ups.
Talon's Talon Q dash towards you is a punish window if you overextend or miss your engage.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with Q-W-E combo and sustain through W.
Avoid missing E engage as Talon can punish heavily if you are out of position.
Keep wave on your side to limit Talon's ability to roam with E.

Power spikes

Sylas spikes at level 3 with full Q-W-E combo and sustain.
Sylas spikes at level 6 if enemy ultimates are valuable to steal with R.
Respect Talon's level 2 Q-W pressure and level 6 Talon R burst and stealth.

Win conditions

Use E to engage and threaten trades, then sustain with W and capitalize on stolen ultimates.
Deny Talon's roam by pushing or freezing wave on your side to keep him visible.
Punish Talon when his E is down or after he uses Talon Q dash to force short trades in your favor.

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