When out of Mana, Hylos can use his HP for skill casts.
Law and Order
Cooldown: 12–8 s by level
knockbackstun
Hylos gains 50% Movement Speed and causes his next Basic Attack within 3 seconds to deal 300–550 (+80% MP) magic damage to the target, knock back and stun them for 1 second.
The extra Movement Speed rapidly decays over the duration and ends after the next Basic Attack.
Ring of Punishment
Cooldown: 1 s
slow
Hylos releases the Ring of Punishment, dealing 100–300 (+20% MP) magic damage to nearby enemies per second while slowing them by 4%–6% and reducing their Attack Speed by 7.5%–15% for 2.5 seconds (up to 8 stacks). Each stack also increases the enemy's damage taken from the Ring of Punishment by 5–20%. The Ring of Punishment consumes 30–150 Mana per second when it's active.
Use Again; Hylos cancels the Ring of Punishment.

WHO COUNTERS HYLOS
Pick them when the enemy has Hylos · score is their advantage
X.Borg11.5
Continuous burn shreds him in lane before the health stacking ever matters.
Kimmy11.3
True damage from max health makes the biggest health pool in the game a liability.
Karrie11.1
True damage from max health makes the biggest health pool in the game a liability.
Zhuxin10.4
You out-range him and wear him down from a distance he cannot cross.
Brody10.0
You are far too mobile for him to lock down, and his health pool only helps your damage.
WHO HYLOS COUNTERS
Pick Hylos into them
Valentina9.7
She can steal your Ultimate to give her team a speed path, which is very dangerous.
Johnson9.7
No mobility to escape Ring of Punishment — they are stuck in it and slowly ground down.
Karina9.1
His damage comes from skills, not basic attacks, so her passive block does nothing — and the health pool simply outlasts her burst.
Mathilda8.9
Slight edge only — your control lands the moment Mathilda commits to the jump, but not enough to decide the matchup.
Natalia8.9
Ring of Punishment keeps constant damage on her, so Assassin Instinct never activates and she cannot vanish at all.
BEST TEAMMATES
HOW TO PLAY HYLOS
