Hylos – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Hylos is countered by high mobility heroes like Karrie and Lesley, as they are hard for him to lock down and can also take him out.
Strong against
Hylos is strong against heroes without mobility skills that can't easily escape his 2nd Skill, like Layla and Gord.
Hylos – Skills
Thickened Blood
Hylos gains 1 extra Max Mana for every 2.5 Extra HP gained.
When out of Mana, he can consume HP to cast skills.
Law and Order
CD: 12
Hylos gains 50% Movement Speed and causes his next Basic Attack within 3s to deal 300 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to the target, knocking back and stunning them for 1s.
The extra Movement Speed rapidly decays over the duration and vanishes after the next Basic Attack.
Ring of Punishment
CD: 1
Hylos releases the Ring of Punishment, dealing 100 (+20% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies per second while slowing them by 4% and reducing their Attack Speed by 7.5% for 2.5s (up to 8 stacks). Each stack also increases the enemy's damage taken from the Ring of Punishment by 5%. The Ring of Punishment consumes 30 Mana per second when it's active.
Use Again: Hylos cancels the Ring of Punishment.
Glorious Pathway
CD: 40
Hylos creates a huge pathway in the target direction, reducing enemies' Movement Speed by 75% for 1s. The pathway lasts 6s.
When on the pathway, Hylos gains Slow Immunity and recovers 3% HP per second. Allied heroes moving along the pathway gain 60% extra Movement Speed, while enemy heroes on the pathway will be slowed by 25%.
Combo
LANING COMBOS
In the laning phase, Hylos should use his 1st Skill to get close and stun the enemy, then follow up with his 2nd Skill and Basic Attacks to deal damage.
TEAMFIGHT COMBOS
In teamfights, use Hylos' Ultimate to create a pathway into the enemy team
and then his 1st Skill to get in and stun an enemy. At the same time, use his 2nd Skill and Basic Attacks to deal continuous damage.
