Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Syndra win this lane: your W slow into Syndra E+Q is a reliable level 2 kill threat on Varus, and your passive double-cast on E or Q provides consistent poke that Karma's healing cannot fully offset.
Post-6, you win decisively — your R into Syndra R creates a CC chain that Varus and Karma cannot survive without burning multiple summoners.

Your best pattern is to W slow Varus when he walks up to stack his W, then let Syndra land her E+Q while you follow with an E stun and Q damage — this three-ability combo in quick succession overwhelms Karma's ability to shield or heal in time.
Do not use your R as an opener; save it to extend the CC chain after Syndra R lands so the lockdown duration becomes lethal.

You should not roam pre-6 — your value is in enabling Syndra's all-ins and your passive double-cast requires you to stay near an ally.
Post-6, if the wave is shoved and Varus is low, a mid roam with Syndra is extremely high-value since your R chains with Syndra R and mid laners rarely expect a two-person roam with that much CC.

Do not spam Q for poke at the cost of your passive stacks — your double-cast passive is your primary damage amplifier and wasting it on low-value poke means Syndra's all-in does significantly less damage than it should.
Track your passive carefully and save double-cast for the moment Syndra commits her E.
