Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Syndra's superior range and consistent Q poke that outranges your Q significantly.
- Post-6 the matchup remains difficult as your R provides no combat power while her R delivers guaranteed high burst damage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern requires baiting her abilities first, then using W-E combo when she's locked in animation or overextended.
- Focus on short trades using worked ground Q advantage rather than extended fights where her sustained damage wins.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on safe farming under tower using Q on worked ground for efficient clearing.
- Look for roam opportunities with R rather than trying to match her push, as forcing wave contests leads to unfavorable poke trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her waveclear by using W on minions, as this leaves you defenseless against her W-E combo.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where she can easily land abilities - instead force trades near walls where your W becomes more threatening.
