Champion Portrait of Sylas
Sylas
Easy
21851%+168+1288Tricky matchup due to Sylas sustain from W. You can win all-ins but you need to dodge the E2 from Sylas to win. Get rid of his mobility skills before going for all-in, test his ability to land his E. Do not go for short burst trades where Sylas can just sustain himself back up

Champion Portrait of Syndra
Syndra
Hard
20251%+172+475Need to dodge a lot in this matchup, she will Q contest you on every cs. The main threat is Syndra E. Jump over it and juke it with your abilities. If you dodge the E, you can all-in with conqueror. Require really good movements to win this matchup.
Champion Portrait of Ahri
Ahri
Easy
20157%+363+1245Play around avoiding Ahri Charm with your mobility, set up your Q's E in jump away and make sure you don't get hit by abilities. Electrocute is much stronger than Conqueror her post 6 because she will be harder to stick onto her
Champion Portrait of Zed
Zed
Very Hard
20147%-93-536Do your best to avoid Zed's WQ combo, dont distance yourself too far from him. You need be a bit closer so you have more angles to dodge from. If you're close enough, you can punish his W by using E directly onto him. It can be good to stand behind minions, dodge shurkiens, go for short electrocute trades, repeat. Post 6, he has a ton of all-in potential. once he ults you, get ready to make some high-level dodge manuevers
Champion Portrait of Galio
Galio
Easy
19347%+311+1365Most of Galio's damage is connected, if he lands his taunt, he'll lands E into Q. Should you survive the inital burst, if you can jump back in on him, you can continute to fight because Galio is out of damage which is frontloaded in short trades. You win extended fights here with conqueror. Best case scenario Galio misses an ability
Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Very Hard
17738%-184-533Dodge his q's and make sure he doesn't get his second q's. You can win sustained fights using Conqueror but you must dodge Q's and work around his windwall. Don't be rash with your dagger placements because you know he's going to E aroudn your minion wave. Its a difficult matchup but you have the tools to outplay Yasuo. Windwall can mess with your ult/q so don't commit too hard until windwall is down, after berseker graves its much harder to dodge so respect him
Champion Portrait of Akali
Akali
Even
17550%+22+602Hover Akali Q max range and make her miss it, also dodge Akali E by either setting up good daggers to dodge with and minimize damage taken. Hard to 1v1 her post 6, generally don't take that fight when its up. You can ult through her shroud but make sure her mobility is spent. Take short burst trades with her and electrocute
Champion Portrait of Viktor
Viktor
Very Hard
17245%+124+453He has E poke, q shield, W stun. The goal here is to avoid the W stun, you need to set up q's and jump in proc electrocute jump out and use doran's shield to sustain the poke. Do not Eat too many viktor's E. Post 6, do not ult before Viktor ults because he can easily cancel yours. Short burst trade lane
