Sylas First-Time Gameplay — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:02] a new champ and you guys get to vote on what we play. Silas wins at 34% Lux close second at 29. So we will be playing Silas today guys. Just

[00:15] we'll see how it goes. At the very least Silas owns me sometimes. So it'll be kind of cool to figure out able to figure out his tool kit and stuff.

[00:27] Let's just start reading. After using an ability Silas gains a charge, max three charges. And the attacks expand a charge to whirl his chains. Um

[00:39] So his Okay, so his attacks give you chains chain damage. Okay. And it's AoE. It surrounds other damage. And while he has at least one charge Silas gains attack speed. So like before you attack,

[00:51] you want to get three charges and then you can like go crazy. you're going to have like extra damage on each attack. So if I just I don't assume Cool. You get a passive from that

[01:07] or from that or from that. Two stacks. Cool. Got it. That makes sense. That's good to know. So what's this? Silas lashes his chains out dealing magic damage and slowing by 35% for 1 and 1/2 seconds. And the

[01:24] place where the chain intersects explodes dealing more damage. not done? >> Okay, so it's I mean it's just like a pretty basic Q. Looks like it kind of just goes in a straight line.

[01:38] And it does damage and it stacks your passive. Silas lunges at an enemy with champs. Silas restores HP based on his missing

[01:50] health. Oh. So when he's low HP, he can W to gain health. But you can only do it on Oh, no. You can do it on champs or restore health. But, you can use it against anything. But, it's a very

[02:04] short-range dash. Wow, very short-range dash. Sylas quickly dashes and prepares a recast for 3 and 1/2 seconds. Sylas throws his chain, pulling himself to the throws his chain, pulling himself to the first enemy hit.

[02:20] Oh, but he has three dashes. He has E and then E again and then W. Oh my gosh, you do not want to mess with Sylas. Holy crap, if Sylas gets in your melee range with some with some passives, attack speed, with a heal,

[02:35] and a couple dashes, you do not want to mess with this guy. Like, just don't be near this guy. Okay, so that's good to know. >> We will rip the power from their cold dead

[02:53] a copy of their ultimate ability based on the ultimate level and using his Hijacking an enemy, cool. An enemy places a cool down on them for 182% enemy's ultimate cool down with a minimum of 40 seconds, during which time

[03:08] Sylas cannot hijack them again. >> Call it redistribution of magic. since I don't know the ults of a lot of champs. Okay, so I don't really know how to last hit against Ahri here as a melee champ. Like, what do you actually do?

[03:31] Get in my way and you'll suffer. >> Oh, that kind of worked out for us. Oh, do I last hit with E and then send my second E on Ahri?

[03:49] >> [laughter] >> A new world will be born.

[04:08] >> So I actually missed my my my big attack and it still kind of still had like a decent trade. But I mean it was attack, would have been way better. She would have been dead probably.

[04:22] >> DIE WITH YOUR LORD. >> I've missed like almost every CS here.

[04:39] >> Face what you've made. >> Crazy. I missed my cannon for that.

[04:56] >> Run, sheep, run. [groaning and screaming]

[05:09] >> Revolution has begun. >> We have 700 golden coins. What do you >> We have 700 golden coins. What do you actually buy first?

[05:22] knock up. I need to just be more patient with my E. I can't miss that like ever. I missed it like two out of three times. Graves is down there. So Ari has no Q.

[05:40] Oh, the auto attacks are actually a little slower than I thought they were. Cool, we dodged her Q. Got a lot of damage off there and our heal.

[06:00] Graves. Oh gosh, Graves Graves Graves Graves. time. >> How was my wave clear? Do I just Q?

[06:34] >> I am the true Demacia. >> [screaming] >> I don't know what the Bel'Veth ult does, but I stole it.

[06:49] It's a passive? What the heck? What does it do? Hold on. >> These are my streets. >> It does nothing? Bro, what?

[07:02] The Ahri one was on cool down, so I thought I would just take something. >> An enemy has been slain. >> I will be the monster they fear.

[07:15] >> I will be the monster they fear. >> Victory is calling.

[07:32] >> I'm a man without a country. >> Is she backing?

[07:51] >> Sweet liberation. >> Yeah, this this champ's pretty cool. 750 probably get like enough to buy Hextech.

[08:06] Wait, am I screwed? Cuz I can't use the Velvet's one. Can I change it? Oh, here Velvet's one. Can I change it? Oh, here we go. I can change it now. >> Every Demacian a king.

[08:35] >> There's a crazy fight happening below me, but I get Rocketbelt from this wave. >> An ally has been slain. >> Dude, I'm going to W that. Not trying to >> Dude, I'm going to W that. Not trying to miss my cannon.

[08:50] I have no TP for this. There was like a crazy fight. I didn't even look at it. Probably should have. >> Let's blow this racket. >> Cool. So, now we get this. Just buy one of these.

[09:08] So, I can combo Hextech into a E into a W for like like kills from downtown, I >> How goes the limit testing? It It's going. going. >> It all ends now.

[09:29] >> Oh, we still don't have the first drake. That's kind of funny. Wow. does like not as much as I would think it would do.

[09:54] Can I just kill both of these guys? I actually don't even know.

[10:06] back like right here. I want to see how already ults a lot, I think. Hopefully we don't miss this cannon.

[10:22] So we want our first drake, that'd be cool. your ult. Cool.

[10:35] I don't think already has ult like yet, but she I think she does like really Oh man, already you come off that tower, Oh man, already you come off that tower, I kill you.

[11:17] That seemed like almost killable there. I don't know, ult I guess. Merks could be cool, but we need another wave for that. We clear this, then get

[11:31] it. Missing middle.

[12:03] Let's get him set. That Yone's getting owned.

[12:26] I don't know what this Bel'Veth's doing. Clearing mid, I guess. Okay.

[12:45] Can't take Ahri's ult yet. Ahri's just hugging the tower.

[13:03] I'm trying to like do some stuff here, but Oh, my cooldown on W is a lot shorter than I thought it was. Guess I should have froze back here, so Guess I should have froze back here, so she can't just keep doing that.

[13:22] Probably don't need flash there, huh? Yeah. Waste of a flash. Oh, crap. >> Get your old. >> has destroyed a turret.

[13:47] especially this Hextech like this, but I can't steal that cool down yet. Really lie. >> Time for the kings to bow. Yone's here. Oh, I could take the Yonal. That'd be

[14:01] sick. >> Suffer your fate.

[14:13] we go. >> The enemy has been slain.

[14:44] >> This is a limit test, if I've ever seen one. >> Dude, my W is so much sustain. It like almost worked. Holy crap.

[15:03] That was almost a one before. I know. That W just does so much healing. If I can just keep going for my W's, it's like, "Whoa." Wow, that was kind of kind of a a fun little test there.

[15:16] Geez. That got the blood pumping. >> Oh, how I missed the burning air.

[15:38] >> I don't know what this old does, but I took it. enemies, crashes down. Okay.

[16:06] >> Crap. Oh, crap. >> Look. >> DUDE, HOW WAS THAT W OUT OF RANGE, MAN?

[16:19] GOT HEX TAGGED. OKAY. As soon as the W goes off, I like heal. to my next W, but it's like ah, I could have just hex tagged.

[16:36] uh does kill Morg. I should have just hex tagged W'd, killed Morg, and then I can one V one Nico, I think. Ah, dang it. I think if I just hex tagged W the Morg,

[16:51] too. Would have been so clean. Okay, I mean So, I think this TP is a massive mistake, but that's okay.

[17:09] >> A prison for me to find liberation. >> Godlike.

[17:51] >> LONG LIVE THE REBELLION. >> Your team has destroyed a turret. >> I think if I flash W, I can maybe kill on turret. But the turret probably would have been pretty close to get the kill there.

[18:05] I think I just wait a second. Bye haunting guys.

[18:24] get on top for but I hit the minion. Nice.

[18:49] >> Find them. That's all they are.

[19:10] >> [laughter] >> what the heck? >> [laughter] >> Just press W, it's like, all right.

[19:28] Oh, can I do this to get extra damage to my tower? Kind of like Diana, probably. >> [groaning]

[19:48] >> I'm a little I'm a little risky doing this, I think. Okay, let's go home and get that Riftmaker power spike, huh?

[20:20] what I was trying to test. Sick.

[20:45] What the Mhm, Morgana's over here.

[21:10] Bro. >> I'm missing by like .1 yd every time. >> I'm missing by like .1 yd every time. My W is such a short range. It's weird.

[21:35] Okay, let's just let's just take this tower.

[21:57] can I use my W over a wall, I wonder? Probably.

[22:26] >> Okay, I think they're kind of doing stuff on that end. >> Ah, crap. I left my team out to dry here. That's on me.

[22:58] my big ult thing anymore. What the heck? All right. Well, it was a limit test. I uh didn't know my old fell off. That sucks. So, how long do I get it for? It like just fell off. Hijacking enemy places a cool down on them for 143%

[23:15] modified by Silas's ability haste of the enemy's ultimate cool down with a minimum of 40 seconds. So, how long do I get it for? You wanted to see how a 1v5 felt? I mean, honestly, it kind of feels 1v5-able with W and that AoE old and the

[23:28] knock-ups and chains and hextech. Yeah, like a legit. like a legit. I mean, I feel like so strong.

[23:52] Dang it. I just should have got the Yone old off.

[24:11] I just got ignited and killed by ignite. >> Your team has destroyed a turret. immune? Yone strikes all enemies along a path and does damage teleporting behind

[24:25] hit and knocking up towards Yone. Does it make you like immune while you're doing it or nah? So, how long do I keep this old for? like I feel like I want to use it in my back pocket and then it just

[24:38] back pocket and then it just like it might be gone.

[24:50] Okay, so it's gone now. I didn't see how long that lasted.

[25:25] a wall. Oh my gosh, I wasn't expecting to go up there. I'm just like, "Oh, we're up now." I thought it was just going to Oh, okay. Cool, that's good to know.

[25:38] Lots of limit testing this game, guys. Lots of limit testing here. I thought me through a wall. I didn't know it just like go through a wall. We could go do Baron now. I I would I would assume. Two dead, we go Baron or we just kill them,

[25:53] but I think Baron and then end is pretty good, too. Glad you like them, Fade. This champ is making you a lot more Sylas, I feel like. Whereas like some champs, I feel like

[26:07] it's hard to be aggro cuz you just kind of die. Sylas is like play. You're like kind of tanky and you have a heal.

[26:32] that, huh? I'm finishing this. This has to be worth it, right? It's like 2K life, there's no way we leave that.

[26:45] I'm staying here. Got it. Worth.

[26:57] kind of want to just learn the champ so I can play against it better.

[27:13] Almost treating it like a little mini ARAM.

[27:26] There we go, got it. Okay, so now I have the aerial.

[28:24] call that. We're definitely calling it a quadra, man. So, this champion like I just feel Whoa, what's this? New victory screen. I've seen a win that's just like looks a little different than I

[28:38] >> Oh my gosh. Um the champion just feels kind of cracked. Like Sylas is pretty cool. I I like the champ. Um that was my first That felt like like really just felt very strong. I

[28:53] feel tanky and I have a heal. So, I feel like on Silas I can actually play like on a lot of other champs I've just I'm a I'm a piece of paper and I just die. So, I'm like always sitting

[29:06] there like waiting for a tank to go in and I'm like please go in. I can tank. Like but on this guy like I can just kind of go in there and start owning, you know? I felt felt kind of nice.
