Tips for Playing as Shyvana with Sylas

It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Overall, Shyvana sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sylas. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Sylas.

Is Shyvana better when played alongside Sylas?

There is no ideal ally for Shyvana that will always be her #1 synergy. Yet, Sylas is a relatively poor teammate for Shyvana. By locking into the same team as Shyvana, he decreases their win rate by -2.4% to 46.7%. This signals that there is a bad bond between Shyvana and Sylas that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Sylas has a greater difficulty than Shyvana. That means you need to be careful when finding Sylas allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Shyvana and Sylas together, you will not be giving your other allies very much crowd control. We recommend you have other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Sylas ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
