| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sylas | Level 1 Sylas's early kit and self-sustain already edge out your poke |
| Level 2 | Sylas | Level 2 he keeps the trading advantage as his combo comes together |
| Level 3 | Sylas | Level 3 his full burst-heal combo is online and wins skirmishes outright |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are an even skill matchup — neither kit has a clean structural edge yet |
| Level 6 | Fizz | Level 6 favors him since Hijack can steal a game-changing ultimate to flip fights |
| First item | Fizz | First item lets your burst and mobility catch up, tipping the duel back in your favor |
| Two+ items | Sylas | Very late game his sustain and stolen-ult pick potential put him back ahead in a straight fight |
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.
