How to win lane as Sylas against Yone · 51.61% win rate over 7,768 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sylas | Level 1 favours you because Yone has no sustain and eats health costs on every Q reset while your Chain Lash pokes for free. |
| Level 2 | Sylas | Level 2 stays yours as your rank-2 Q double-hits the wave and chunks him whenever he steps up to CS. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even/skill: he gets Soul Unbound but you get double-Q, so the trade hinges on whether his Q3 knockup lands. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill matchup where both of you have kill pressure and the winner is whoever wins the Q3-bait mindgame. |
| Level 6 | Sylas | Level 6 swings back to you because a baited, whiffed Q3 lets your E-Q-R burst him before wraith form can buffer it. |
| First item | Yone | First item favours Yone: completed mythic plus Soul Unbound and Q-reset burst exactly cover the all-in window your combo needs. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two-plus items favour Yone as he scales into a Fate-Sealed engage threat your naked duel can't answer without stealing a lockdown ult. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Yone has zero sustain and pays health for every Q auto-reset, so poke him with Q Chain Lash each time he approaches a minion and he can't heal it back. Keep the wave central and don't let him free-farm, but respect that his Q3 knockup is a real trade-ender if you stand in it.
