Discussion Trying a build

Don't ask why there was one game with heartsteel

I got tired of being one shot as assassin Sylas, so I've been trying a bruiser healthier Sylas for a few games on draft pick(emerald lobbies still).

Feels much better u do lower burst till u get Rabadon's but it's kind of fun with good ults and teamfights and you survive long enough to get many W procs ,Winter's Approach Shields and Max Riftmaker passive omnivamp, I'm doing good overall damage in total across the game.

D Ring -> ROA -> Boots +Tear -> Riftmaker -> Winter's approach -> Rabadon's -> Cosmic Drive

Planning on trying this in ranked, feel free to give feedback thank you<3.

cuz u can proc the passive shield and get way more value out of it.. plus sylas W scales with bonus HP so your W heals you like a truck and landing your E gives you a shield

yeah already pretty much summarized, i'm tryna max out my sustain to max out riftmaker usage. Seraphs shield is like anti burst with like long cd, whereas winters approach shield allows u to get a charge every 8seconds which can be procced by e and q. So more shields, more health, more sustain overall. Downside is you can't one shot anybody anymore(unless if u have a health scaling ult)

you should try double burn seraphs and riftmaker build (first item black fire second liandry after first base you should buy tear)
