Sylas vs Twisted Fate

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Sylas is a high-agency melee skirmisher who wants to pressure and punish Twisted Fate's lower mobility and poke range.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Twisted Fate safe wave control and reduce his roam impact.

Trading pattern

Engage with E, trade with autos and W heal, then disengage if Twisted Fate's Gold Card is up.
Avoid committing if E is missed, as Twisted Fate can punish with Gold Card stun.
Use Q slow to kite and control trades, especially when Twisted Fate tries to farm or poke.

Danger windows

When E is on cooldown, Sylas is vulnerable to Twisted Fate's Gold Card stun and poke.
Avoid extended trades if W is down, as sustain is lost.
Be cautious if Twisted Fate has wave priority and can roam with R, hard push and ping to punish.

Early game

Use E to engage and threaten short trades before Twisted Fate can reliably pick Gold Card.
Avoid extended trades without W or E available to prevent being poked down.
Punish Twisted Fate if he misuses W or oversteps without Gold Card ready.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E skirmish combo and sustain, enabling strong trades.
Level 6 R can turn fights if a valuable ultimate is stolen from Twisted Fate's team.
Respect Twisted Fate's level 6 R for map pressure and potential roams.

Win conditions

Use E to force fights and capitalize on Twisted Fate's low mobility and cooldowns.
Steal impactful ultimates to enhance skirmish potential and punish side lanes.
Deny Twisted Fate wave control to limit his roam and map influence.

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