Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose trades due to Syndra's superior range and Q poke damage, but can farm safely with E-W waveclear.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you land R, as she cannot interrupt your suppress and your combo deals more burst damage.
How to Trade
- Use E on minions to spread damage and push waves, then follow with W to clear efficiently while staying at max range.
- Only trade directly when she wastes Q or steps too close, using E-Q combo for quick damage before backing off.
Wave Control
- Push waves constantly with E-W to prevent her from roaming and force her to use mana clearing under tower.
- Maintain minion advantage so your E can spread effectively and create pressure for jungle ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up without minions to block her Q-E stun combo, as losing your passive spell shield in open space guarantees you take her full burst damage.
- Don't R her if she has Cleanse summoner or if enemy support has Mikael's Blessing ready (or QSS later in the game), as breaking your suppress leaves you vulnerable to instant death from her combo.
