Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose trades due to Syndra's superior range and Q poke, but post-6 you can win all-ins if you land W root into full combo.
- Your E-Q spread damage becomes threatening once you have ultimate and can chain abilities together.
How to Trade
- Look for short E-W-Q trades when Syndra uses Q on minions, then immediately back off to avoid her W-E follow-up.
- Never extend trades without your W root available as she will out-damage you with her longer range abilities.
Wave Control
- Push early levels with E-Q to match her waveclear, then look to freeze near your tower once she gets ahead in levels.
- You need to avoid being poked down while farming, so prioritize last-hitting over trading until you have items.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her roam timings early game as you lack the burst damage to make plays effective.
- Walking up without W available against her E-Q combo will result in heavy damage or death.
