Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Sylas wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Tristana's 50.0%, giving Sylas a 0.0 percentage point advantage.

1,050Tristana
Tristana heavily out-damages Sylas by 319 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Sylas should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Tristana's sustained damage advantage take over.
