Quick Analysis

SUMMONER SPELLS:

Teleport and Flash is the only combination Faker chooses on Sylas.

RUNES:

In season 11, Faker is currently shuffling between two rune builds on Sylas: Fleet Footwork and Conqueror.

Fleet Footwork is Faker’s go-to keystone for almost all situations. For example: Zoe, Cassiopeia, LeBlanc, Twisted Fate.

Faker picks Conqueror only against extremely hard melee matchups. For example: Yone, Sett, Ekko.

ITEMS:

Liandry’s Anguish is the only mythic item Faker runs on Sylas. His second purchase is always Zhonya’s Hourglass, and the third Cosmic Dive. This provides him with enough damage and utility to win over fights.

The rest of the build focuses around adding more Ability Power. Rabadon’s Deathcap and Lich Bane are the items Faker most frequently buys after his core build for Sylas. However, Faker buys Gargoyle Stoneplate if he needs more survivability.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity is Faker’s default boots choice for Sylas. He also buys Mercury’s Treads and Ninja Tabi against full AP or full AD teams.
