Who Wins

Pre-6, this lane is roughly even with a slight edge to Syndra+Seraphine: Syndra's Q poke and Seraphine's W slow make it hard to freely stack your W, and their level 2 all-in (Syndra E+Q into Seraphine E stun) is genuinely threatening.
Post-6, you lose the 2v2 decisively — Syndra R into Seraphine R chains your entire team and your R is a single-target chain that doesn't match their combined CC output.

Your best pattern is to W-stack from max range during the wave, then release a charged Q when Karma uses E on you to give you the movement speed to reposition and land it — never trade without Blight stacks on a target first.
Avoid extended trades entirely; you want to poke with W-empowered autos and Q, then disengage before Syndra can land her full combo on you.

Push the wave consistently with W-empowered autos to deny Seraphine passive procs and force them to farm under pressure rather than freely poke you.
A shoved wave also reduces the window for Syndra+Seraphine to walk up and combo you, since they need space to execute their pattern.

Do not stand still to fully charge your Q when Syndra has her E available — she will stun you mid-channel and you will eat the full Seraphine+Syndra combo with no escape tool.
Your Q is only worth charging when you have confirmed distance or Syndra's E is on cooldown.
