![]() A player who can make the most of his exceptional strengths while managing his more explicit weaknesses can be a terrifying threat with a command over the match unlike anyone else. Sylvanos is a character of extremes in many ways. His recovery tools are great for making it back to the stage, but it can often leave him vulnerable and subject to getting caught in rinse-repeat situations both offstage and at the ledge. Similarly, his disadvantage is considered to be rather treacherous: he's a fast-falling heavyweight with a big hurtbox and limited access to good reversal options, so resetting to neutral can be quite difficult at times. It can be difficult for Sylvanos to win a close-range scramble situation. ![]() Sylvanos trades his great range for relatively poor frame data. Sylvanos's defense is undoubtedly strong, but once it is breached, things can start getting tricky. On the other hand, he can have some difficulty closing out stocks once the damage is dealt. Moves like his Jabs, Petal Wave, and Down Tilt form a strong foundation for grounded DI/techchase mixps, and Neutral and Down Air give him pillar combos with tricky tech timing mixups to keep people trapped. Sylvanos's strong techchases and stage carry tools let him put opponents in a blender to rack up damage quickly. However, he's more than just a keepaway machine. Flowers are a unique projectile that can cover some unconventional angles while also helping him spread Grass. Sylvanos's Grass lets him keep a presence across the entire stage, with the threat of moves like Howl and Beast Dash keeping opponents on their toes whenever and wherever they're in Sylvanos's territory. Combine this with his high run speed and you get an absolute monster in mid-range neutral and footsies. ![]() Back Air is a slower option, but as the longest normal in the entire game it can cover distances other characters could only dream of. Up Tilt and Up Air let him cover vertical options well as well, with the former being a strong anti-air and the latter covering a large area above Sylv in the air. Moves like Down Tilt, Short Hop Forward Air, and Jab 1/2 are great for grounded space control. Overall, Sylvanos has the longest attack range in the game, featuring a wide assortment of big moves with disjointed hitboxes. He excels at using his exceptional range and strong grounded zoning options to control games. Sylvanos is the definitive long-range specialist of Rivals of Aether. Sylvanos leads the plant life in the forest looking for ways to expand his dominance. Unfortunately, the great Rock Wall traps the spirit as he patrols the forest’s floor. A rageful deity, Sylvanos has only a single goal - to expand the forest over all of Aether. Sylvanos is the heart of the Aetherian Forest.
