How to win lane as Sylas against Camille · 42.66% win rate over 286 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither kit has a meaningful level-1 threat — farm to the wave tip with Q and do not waste E on a champion who has no cooldowns to punish yet. |
| Level 2 | Camille | Camille's Q true-damage proc comes fully online and her W cone heals through your return trade — short exchanges go her way before you have the stun to pin her. |
| Level 3 | Camille | Hookshot into a wall cancels your E2 approach angle and stuns you into a true-damage extended trade you are not built to win without your own stun landing first. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Both kits are in play but neither has a dominant window — trade only around Hookshot's cooldown timer and respect her passive shield-break on the first Q hit. |
| Level 6 | Sylas | Hijack gives you The Hextech Ultimatum: cage her away from her team and she has no isolation tool, no escape, and your Q-W-passive burst takes the kill. |
| First item | Camille | Trinity Force completes before your Riftmaker and the true-damage math tilts against your healing — play for objectives and teamfights rather than forcing the 1v1 again. |
| Two+ items | Sylas | At full build your stolen R and AP burst make you a teamfight carrier, but the 1v1 still favours Camille — pick fights on your terms with her team, not hers. |
Level 1 is a wash — you have Q to poke CS steps but she matches it and your kit has no real threat yet; farm quietly and do not burn E chasing. At level 2 things get genuinely difficult: Camille's Q true-damage proc and W healing cone mean short trades consistently favour her, and without your full E stun you cannot punish her dive or create distance safely. By level 3 you have the full hook, but she can Hookshot into a wall to cancel your approach angle before E2 ever lands — respect terrain entirely and only take trades when her Hookshot is visibly on cooldown. Your Q slow and passive chain-autos deal real damage in extended exchanges, but her W true damage cuts through the W heal you're counting on.
