Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Syndra's superior range and consistent poke, but can win post-6 if you successfully land E-Q and follow up with melee form combo.
- Your window comes from catching her with abilities down or when she mispositions.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E-Q poke from range, then immediately switch forms and gap close with Q-E if she's low enough for an all-in.
- Avoid extended ranged trades since her Q cooldown is lower and more reliable than your combo.
Wave Control
- Let her push early and farm safely, then look for slow pushes when you have kill pressure to prevent her from roaming.
- Control vision around your flanks since you're vulnerable to ganks when trying to engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E-Q combo on minions for waveclear as it's your primary engage and disengage tool.
- Avoid staying in ranged form too long during trades since you lose the DPS potential of your melee form.
