Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Marksmage

    Gold

    Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 75% Ability Power.

    Why on Sylas

    Petricite Burst (Passive) has you weaving attacks after every spell, and Marksmage adds physical damage from your Ability Power to each of them.

  2. Dashing

    Prismatic

    Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.

    Why on Sylas

    Abscond / Abduct (E) comes back much faster, giving you more dashes and knock-up engages, and every extra cast stores another Petricite Burst (Passive) charge.

  3. Unshackled

    Gold

    You can now Hijack your ally's ultimate. On takedown, reduce Hijack's lockout and cooldown by 20%. Gain 60 Ultimate Haste.

    Why on Sylas

    Hijack (R) can now copy a strong ally ultimate, and the Ultimate Haste plus takedown cooldown reductions let you steal and cast ultimates more often.
