Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sylas.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sylas | Level 1 favours Sylas — E mobility and Q chains poke you while you can't pin him. |
| Level 2 | Sylas | Level 2 stays his as Kingslayer heal and poke win the trades. |
| Level 3 | Sylas | Level 3 is Sylas's: full E-Q-W combo out-damages and out-sustains you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sylas | Levels 4-5 remain his — mobility keeps him off your Q and chipping you down. |
| Level 6 | Sylas | Level 6 stays dangerous as Hijack steals your R to fuel a real all-in. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | First item favours you: tank HP blunts Kingslayer and Q slow catches his dashes. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | At 2+ items you out-scale — soak his burst, heal with R, punish his cooldowns. |
Levels 1-5 clearly favour Sylas: Abscond dashes off your Q and recasts to chain back, Kingslayer heals him for the damage he does to you, and Chain Lash pokes from 775 while you cannot pin his mobility. Concede the lane and farm safe.
