[ABOUT]
A magician adept in manipulating phantom energy.
Sylas is a magician from the House Kerr, who have researched phantom magic for generations.
Sylas learned to use the Phantom Dagger, from a magician named Ayle. While arrogant at times, Sylas has a kind heart, and a fierce desire to never lose someone precious to him again.
As a magician, Sylas excels at both close range and lose range combat thanks to the Phantom Dagger.
He can create various illusions to confound the enemy, and by tapping into his inner magic, provide beneficial effects to nearby allies.

[EXCLUSIVE SKILLS]
Combos and Phantom Shards
Sylas' Combo attacks function much the same as many other mercenaries, using a combination of Normal Attacks to lead into Smash Attacks to trigger powerful strikes, including a heavy uppercut to send weaker foes flying and a spectral disc carving through all enemies in its path.
Sylas' Combos also come with a special bonus. Each Normal Attack from Sylas will create a Phantom Shard, orbiting the mage as he fights. When Sylas makes a Smash Attack, each of these Shards will fly at his enemy, dealing extra damage on top of the Smash Attack's violent impact.
These shards serve a second purpose as well: If some foe does manage to land a blow, the Shards will be expended, absorbing a portion of the damage to keep the mystical skirmisher on his feet.
Ultimate Attack: Infinity Requiem
Sylas may excel at striking his opponents (and then leaping out of the way), but that doesn't make every swing a lightweight attack. After building up enough SP, Sylas can unleash the Infinity Requiem, an attack that summons dozens of spectral blades, sending each one into his unfortunate target over and over, leading up to one last, powerful strike where all the knives tear through his foe at once. Be sure to use it on foes with large health pools, because the 20 minute cooldown means you don't want to waste the attack.
