| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Level 1 favours you — your Q and decoy beat Sylas before his combo is online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 evens as Sylas gains his Q-E trade pattern and can answer back. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Levels 3 stays even; his W heal is offset when you trade at full health. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even as both space around cooldowns and the decoy. |
| Level 6 | Sylas | At 6 Sylas can hijack your Cyclone, making this his strongest kill window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Post-first-item the lane evens as you shove and deny his Kingslayer heal. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game stays even — your knockup value trades against his stolen-ult threat. |
Level 1 favours you — your Q plus decoy out-trades Sylas before he has his full combo, so establish an early lead. Land a Q-Nimbus poke.
