The Hwei versus Sylas matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Hwei deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Sylas deals primarily magic damage (90.84%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Hwei is higher farming statistics (ranked 29th among role champions) (versus 52nd for Sylas), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Hwei player to maintain constant pressure on Sylas, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
