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.

• Spellblade damage does not get converted to magic damage, and will deal its damage only to the primary target.
• Petricite Burst attacks do not add stacks of Press the Attack to the target.
• Petricite Burst attacks do not apply  life steal.
• Petricite Burst attacks can critically strike, but deal no increased damage when they do.
• Petricite Burst can be dodged, blocked, or missed while Sylas is blinded as the primary target but not as a secondary target.

Chain Lash

Chain Lash
TARGET RANGE:	50 / 775
EFFECT RADIUS:	180 / 200
CAST TIME:	0.4
COST:	55 Mana
COOLDOWN:	10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6

Active: Sylas lashes out two chains that converge to the target location and extend beyond it up to a maximum range, dealing magic damage to enemies within the area and slowing them for 1.5 seconds.

Magic Damage: 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+ 40% AP) Slow: 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35%

After a 0.6-second delay, the chains' intersection detonates, dealing magic damage to enemies within, reduced by 60% against minions and monsters.

Detonation Damage: 70 / 125 / 180 / 235 / 290 (+ 90% AP) Non-Champion Detonation Damage: 28 / 50 / 72 / 94 / 116 (+ 36% AP) Maximum Champion Damage: 110 / 185 / 260 / 335 / 410 (+ 130% AP) Maximum Non-Champion Damage: 68 / 110 / 152 / 194 / 236 (+ 76% AP)

• The detonation's effect radius center is placed at the intersection between the chains from the initial cast, meaning a max range cast can create a detonation that reaches further than the chains do.

Kingslayer

Kingslayer
RANGE:	400
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 Mana

Magic Damage: 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+ 90% AP)

If Kingslayer damaged an enemy champion, Sylas is also healed, increased by 0% − 100% (based on Sylas' missing health).

Heal: 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 (+ 40% AP) Maximum Heal: 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (+ 80% AP)

• 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.

Abduct
TARGET RANGE:	800
SPEED:	1600 / 1800
CAST TIME:	0.25

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.
• This ability will cast from wherever the caster is 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 and revealing them for 0.825 seconds at the start of the cast time. 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.
  • The same does not occur for champions within a zombie state.
• 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 becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on  cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

• • 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.
  • Transforming into Cougar Form with more than 2 stacks of Unshackled and then casting Takedown will disable Takedown's effect until the buff timer runs out. ^(bug)
  • 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.

Raised in one of Demacia’s lesser quarters, Sylas of Dregbourne has come to symbolize the darker side of the Great City. As a boy, his ability to root out hidden sorcery caught the attention of the notorious mageseekers, who eventually imprisoned him for turning those same powers against them. Having now broken free, Sylas lives as a hardened revolutionary, using the magic of those around him to destroy the kingdom he once served… and his band of outcast mage followers seems to grow by the day.

The hateful lord of the lunar wraiths, Sylas has waited eons to invade the heavenly realm, and depose its godly stewards. What happens to the balance between heaven and earth is not his concern; he simply craves chaos, and the hour of his triumph is fast approaching.

Free from the kingdom that once imprisoned him, Sylas of Dregbourne marches from Demacia to the Freljord. With every step he takes, he remembers what others have branded him: Mage, Traitor, Kingslayer—names he revels in as he endures the bitter cold, his heart warmed by the fires of rebellion. It will be here, in the icy north, that he will seize the ancient power needed to fuel his revolution…

A self-styled leader of the outcasts who live beyond the city's walls, Sylas has heeded Ashe's call and rallied the Renegades in defense of the City. Though his true motives are the collapse of PROJECT and the capital surveillance state, for now he's content destroying the armies of a dangerous rogue AI.

With the Outcasts, G/Netic, and PROJECT itself faced with an insurmountable enemy, each faction turns to dangerous experimental technologies and long-lost robotics of a past age, hoping for an edge. Sylas, however, had a plan all along—integrating jailbroken corporate upgrades for the ultra-wealthy, so he can one day turn them on PROJECT.
