Track: Sylas's E — Abscond / Abduct (13–9s cooldown). His dash + stun (recast pull). Bait it, then commit.
Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sylas.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sylas | Sylas gets his Q online and chips your Skaarl health with poke while you have no spammable answer at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Violent Tendencies comes online and out-bursts him before Kingslayer can heal the trade back. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Full re-E (E in, four W attacks, E back) plus the Bear Trap yank beats his level-3 Kingslayer heal. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | It is genuinely even — your remount sustain trades evenly with his Q poke and W lifesteal across levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His R can STEAL your Chaaaaaaaaarge, so the level-6 power swing cancels out — neither of you can freely commit your ult. |
| First item | Kled | Your Eclipse sheen proc plus the Bear Trap yank gives the burst peak to win the all-in before his AP scaling kicks in. |
| Two+ items | Sylas | His Q/W lifesteal and chain-E kite with Riftmaker/Rylai outheal and outlast your frontloaded burst into the late game. |
Sylas concedes nothing at level 1 — Chain Lash reaches 775 and its intersection point detonates a second time after a short delay, so step off the cross and half of it misses. The lane flips at 2 and 3: Violent Tendencies and the E-W-E re-E combo out-burst him before Kingslayer can stitch the trade back up. Land Bear Trap to stick him, yank in, dump the four attacks, and E out. Note his passive: every spell arms one attack that whirls his chains, so he wants to weave, not stand and cast.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (burst + all-in sustain) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Mercury's Treads.
