Guide to Synergizing Nautilus and Sylas

Tips for Playing as Nautilus with Sylas

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Advice to Understand How Sylas Will Play

Clever use of enemy ultimates can open up new possibilities to approach teamfights.

Wait for you or your enemy to reach low health before using Kingslayer for maximum effect.

Space out your ability usage to get maximum effect from Petricite Burst.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Sylas.

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Nautilus that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. Yet, Sylas is a below average ally for Nautilus. By being on the same side as Nautilus, he drops their win rate by -2.3% to 46.5%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Nautilus and Sylas that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Sylas has a lower difficulty than Nautilus. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Sylas teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing alongside, Nautilus players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by pairing Nautilus and Sylas together, you may not be giving your side a great deal of sustained damage output. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Sylas ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
