Abilities

Edit

Petricite Burst

Petricite Burst
EFFECT RADIUS:	300

Innate: Sylas gains an Unshackled stack for 4 seconds whenever he casts an ability, refreshing on subsequent ability casts. Sylas can have up to 3 Unshackled stacks at a time, and while he has stacks, he gains  125% bonus attack speed.

Unshackled: Sylas' next basic attack consumes an Unshackled stack to whirl his chains around him, having an uncancelable windup, dealing 130% AD (+ 25% AP) magic damage to the primary target and 40% AD (+ 20% AP) magic damage to nearby secondary targets.

Damage to secondary targets executes minions that are left or are below 25 health.

The empowered attack applies on-hit effects to the primary target but disables Sylas' critical strikes' bonus damage. Spell effects only apply to secondary targets.

• The damage will be dealt if the dash completed uninterrupted, and regardless of how far the target's location is at the end of the dash.
  • Sylas will heal even if the target champion dies before the dash is completed.
  • The only exception is if the target becomes untargetable, in which case Kingslayer will have no effect.
• Despite being single target, Kingslayer does not draw minion aggro.^(bug)

Notes

• Abduct counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
• Sylas will not dash to his target if the chains are blocked by spell shield.
• Abduct will still apply the knock up if the target is untargetable by the end of the dash.
• Abduct will fire from wherever Sylas was at the start of the cast time.
• Sylas is unable to perform actions while dashing to the target, and becomes able to again after 0.05 seconds of the dash ending.
• Sylas will not dash to the target hit if he is channeling or dashing from a Hijacked ability.
  • The exception is Caitlyn's Ace in the Hole, where the channel is cancelled and Sylas is pulled to his target.

Edit

Hijack

Hijack
TARGET RANGE:	950
SPEED:	2200
CAST TIME:	0.25
COST:	75 Mana
COOLDOWN:	100 / 70 / 40
On-Target Cooldown:	200% of target's ultimate cooldown

Active: Sylas launches his chains at the target enemy champion, gaining a copy of their ultimate ability upon arrival. Sylas cannot select the same champion again for a set duration, and can hold the hijacked ultimate for 90 seconds, during which he can recast Hijack.

Recast: Sylas casts his hijacked ultimate ability at no cost, scaling based on Hijack's rank and his own statistics.

All Hijacked ultimates and abilities that do not scale with  ability power have their  attack damage ratios converted to ability power ratios, scaling with 0.6% AP per 1% total AD, and 0.4% AP per 1% bonus AD respectively.

• Hijack's per target cooldown is indicated by a ring under recently targetted enemy champions, and is only visible to Sylas and each individual enemy.
• If Sylas casts Hijack on a clone, no ultimate is stolen and the ability will be placed on full cooldown.
  • This does not occur with Sion's Glory in Death, since he is a zombie instead.
• Clones do not copy Hijack's target cooldown indicator, potentially revealing them to Sylas.
  • Neeko's Inherent Glamour does not hide her personal cooldown indicator, nor does she copy her allies'.
• If the target dies, becomes untargetable, or Sylas loses sight of them during Hijack's cast time, the ability cancels and does not go on cooldown or expend  mana.
  • If the same happens when casting an on-target stolen ability, the ability will instead cancel and go on cooldown.
• If Hijack is intercepted by Braum's Unbreakable, Sylas will gain a copy of Glacial Fissure instead and an on-target cooldown will be applied to him.
  • If Braum has an on-target cooldown on him (by being previously Hijacked) upon interception, no ultimate will be stolen.
• Since the copied ability scales based on Hijack's rank, abilities can be copied regardless of their rank.
• Hijack will copy all components of the ability: their passives and actives as well as recast effects. Hijack will not trigger the effects of other abilities unless absolutely necessary.
• Shape-shifting ultimates will transform Sylas into the target's alternate form, replacing his basic abilities and base stats. Namely: Cougar Form, Spider Form, Cannon Form and Dragon Form.
  • Dragon's Descent transforms Sylas' mana, into Shyvana's fury, being able to replenishing it by basic attacking. At the end of the effect, Sylas gains his previous mana.
  • Dragon's Descent does not refresh ability cooldowns upon transforming.
  • Spider Form freezes Sylas' original cooldowns on their current values, causing them to not come off cooldown during Spider Form. ^(bug)
  • Upon transforming back from Cannon Form, Sylas' next basic attack deals Transform Mercury Hammer's bonus magic damage and uses his critical strike animation.
  • Permanent transformations last for ~5 minutes or until toggled off.
  • The alternate abilities of transforming champions will cost mana and scale with the ranks as appropriate for the ability (e.g. ranks in R for Nidalee and ranks in Q/W/E for Jayce/Elise).
  • Upon transforming, a Petricite Burst stack will be deducted.
  • Petricite Burst stacks will still be gained from abilities cast in alternate forms, but the stacks are gained independently from the normal ones.
    • If Sylas has both normal and transformed stacks, Petricite Burst will prioritize consuming Sylas stacks before the transformed ones.
• Ultimates comply with One for All rules if an ally is playing the hijacked champion. For example, an allied Darius' Hemorrhage stacks will increase the damage of the hijacked Noxian Guillotine; or an allied Syndra's Dark Sphere will add extra damage to hijacked Unleashed Power as well as producing 3 spheres that she can use.
