Scylla

How to play Scylla

Scylla is a ranged mage from the Greek pantheon who deals magical damage. Top players play Scylla in the Mid lane.

In your kit, Sentinel (summon vision, recast leap) is your way in and out of fights. Sic 'Em (projectile damage root) is your main crowd control. Crush (area slow, recast damage) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is I'm a Monster (area damage, kills reset), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Quick Learner: max rank abilities are stronger.

Community guides level Crush, Sic 'Em and Sentinel first. Max Crush first, then Sic 'Em, then Sentinel.

Most of your damage comes from abilities, so fight from behind your front line and never be the closest god to the enemy. Look for the moment your crowd control can land, then follow up with the rest of your damage. In the mid lane, clear the wave quickly, then help the side lanes or the jungle.

Start with Archmage's Gem, then buy Spear of Desolation. Top players buy it in the first two or three slots. Your core is Book of Thoth and Chronos' Pendant, and you finish with Polynomicon, Rod of Tahuti and Obsidian Shard. A good relic is Aegis of Acceleration. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of the Devourer, it reworks Quick Learner (max rank abilities are stronger), Sentinel (summon vision, recast leap) and I'm a Monster (charge with abilities, fire three times). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Nox, Chaac and Gilgamesh, and struggle against Odin, Rama or Vulcan. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
