Early game (levels 1–5)

Sylas comes online at level 3 with a full burst-and-heal combo (Q-E-Q-W) that out-trades Fizz's early poke, since his Petricite Burst heals him back a chunk of whatever damage you land. From level 1 through 5 he's the aggressor in every skirmish and you're mostly forced to farm passively and avoid extended fights, since he simply has more sustained damage and self-healing than you do at this stage.
