Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Syndra's range advantage and consistent Q poke, but have kill windows at level 2-3 if she mispositions near your Q-E range.
- Post-6 becomes more favorable as your R gives you reliable gap close that can bypass her E if used properly.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q to mark then immediately E through minions to gap close, forcing her to use E defensively, then back off and repeat until you can commit with R.
- Never trade in extended fights without your gap closers available.
Wave Control
- Allow Syndra to push early and farm safely under tower, then look for roam opportunities when she recalls or overextends.
- Focus on wave management that keeps minions available for your E dash rather than hard shoving.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage without your E available as Syndra's E will knock you back and leave you exposed to her full combo.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where she can easily land Q-E stuns and always respect her R burst potential when low.
