What I've seen in-game, you either build as a traditional mage, prioritizing AP, CDR, Mana and magic pen. and you'll melt most opponents not much for burst but lockdown. He has some issues getting into range of a champion, but once in becomes one of the stickiest champions, as he'll both pretty much permaslow you and frequently stun you and that his Innate's damage is decievenly high for how frequently he can get it out as by himself can trigger it 4 times in a single rotation, so adding Lich Bane on top of that just destroys opponents.

When building as a brusier, he becomes an aberration that regardless of damage as he'll out-tank you (specially if he gets Gunblade and Nashor's Tooth), as both his shield and heal are spammable and scale obcsenely high (which I'll argue will get well-deserved nerfs and/or one of the two gets removed), making so you can safely discharge your damage output as your shield will avoid your health getting touched, and your heal will render any trades' damage non-existing as he'll recover the life lost in a clutch. I've seen Sylas diving to other opponents with no health, recovering to almost full health with a single W, cover the remaining health with E's shield and proceed to chunch the opponent, and it doesn't seem fair but abuse it while it lasts.
