How to beat Syndra

Common role: Mid

A burst mage who stuns you and executes carries from range.

What makes Syndra dangerous

Syndra places spheres (Q), pushes them for a wide stun (E), and her ultimate fires every sphere at once for a point-and-click execute that deletes squishies. Once she has a few items and a stun landed, no carry survives her combo.

How to play against Syndra

• 1Her E stun is the whole combo — side-step it and she has no follow-up.
• 2Don't stand next to her spheres; they are her stun and damage setup.
• 3Buy magic resist and health so her ult can't one-shot you.
• 4Punish her weak, mana-hungry early game before she has her power spikes.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Immobile with no escape — very gankable.
• ✓Mana-hungry; her full combo drains her bar early.
• ✓The E stun is telegraphed and dodgeable.
• ✓Weak, low-pressure early levels.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Syndra's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Transcendance

  Syndra collecte des éclats de courroux quand elle gagne des niveaux et quand elle blesse des ennemis, ce qui améliore ses compétences.Sphère noire : Syndra peut stocker une charge supplémentaire.Force de la volonté : dégâts bruts supplémentaires.Dispersion des faibles : largeur augmentée et ralentit toutes les cibles.Déchaînement de puissance : exécute les cibles dont les PV sont bas.

  Strong: her abilities and ult scale up over the game into true one-shots. Weak: the scaling is slow — punish her weak early game before it comes online.

• Q
  Sphère noire

  Syndra invoque une sphère noire, infligeant des dégâts magiques. La sphère dure quelques secondes et peut être manipulée grâce aux autres compétences de Syndra.

  Strong: cheap, spammable sphere for poke and combo setup. Weak: a delayed AoE — sidestep it, and note the spheres she leaves for her E.

• W
  Force de la volonté

  Syndra saisit et lance une sphère noire ou un sbire ennemi, infligeant des dégâts magiques et réduisant la vitesse de déplacement des ennemis.

  Strong: grabs a sphere or minion to throw for extra damage and slow. Weak: needs a sphere nearby — deny the setup and it's a weak throw.

• E
  Dispersion des faibles

  Syndra repousse les ennemis et les sphères noires, infligeant des dégâts magiques. Les ennemis frappés par les sphères noires sont étourdis.

  Strong: a wide stun that is the trigger for her entire combo. Weak: narrow, telegraphed cone — side-step it and she has no follow-up.

• R
  Déchaînement de puissance

  Syndra bombarde un champion ennemi avec toutes ses sphères noires.

  Strong: fires every sphere at once for a point-and-click execute on squishies. Weak: needs spheres up and has a cooldown — bait it or itemize MR/HP to survive.

Itemization

Magic resist and health let you eat her ult (Mercury's Treads, Kaenic Rookern, Force of Nature). Dodging E defuses her entire combo.
