How to win lane as Vex against Sylas · 56.41% win rate over 3,847 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | His only approach at level 1 is an E dash your passive fears. |
| Level 2 | Vex | At 2 his all-in is a dash you interrupt before his W heals. |
| Level 3 | Vex | Level 3 you punish every E engage and starve his W sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Through 4-5 short Q-shielded trades and wave control favour you. |
| Level 6 | Vex | At 6 his engage is still a dash your fear and R shut down. |
| First item | Vex | First item your burst beats his sustain in a quick trade. |
| Two+ items | Vex | Late his dive is a free passive proc for your fear and R. |
You hold the edge because Sylas has to come to you and every approach is an E dash your passive punishes. Poke with Mistral Bolt, keep the wave in a spot where he can't freely commit, and don't hand him autos to heal off. When he E's in for his Q-W combo, shield with W and fear him mid-dash — the trade swings hard your way.
