Hylos is a tank hero with easy difficulty. This is a live guide — win rate, pick rate and counter data refresh every 6 hours from real ranked matches.
Updated · live data refreshed 45 minutes ago · every 6 hours
Hylos works best with heroes that need faster Movement Speed to engage, such as Terizla and Minsitthar.
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.
Level up in this order when playing Hylos:
Ring of Punishment
Law and Order
Thickened Blood
Centaur guarding the Misty Mountains.
Hylos gains 1.5 extra Max HP for every 1 extra Max Mana he possesses. When out of Mana, Hylos can use his HP for skill casts.
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.
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.
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% of his Max 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%.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1.
→
→
→
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.
→
→
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.

The boots for reducing cc. I always build dominance ice for anti life steal and the second build is thunder belt to stack hybrid defense. These 2 are my core items. Clock of destiny in order to stay longer into fights. Guardian helmet for healing overtime and chastise pauldron for enemy marksman and survivability although you can change it to cursed helmet if you want more hp.

Bargain Hunter

Having extra defense right of the start is good since this hero is not a ranged type and he will always soak up the damage for your team. I use bargain hunter so i could build thunder belt more faster and gain more stacks right of the bat. Concussive blast for extra damage.

Battle Spell. There are two spells that you can use depending on your teammates: Revitalize: I suggest this spell if your not solo and make them build the item oracle. This boost your allies chances of survivability. Vengeance: I suggest this spell if your solo or have an enemy such as karrie, claude, etc. This is more useful if your team doesn't have coordination or the enemy can shred tanks
