tips on how to play syndra?

miss all your abilities

press R

Don't fall for the noob trap assertion that she is just a press R based champion like veigar, heimerdinger, or ziggs.

Just focus of positioning orbs and using force of will and scatter of the weak. Once you get that down you'll unlock her R's true potential.

• The typical skill order that you can use is Q>W>E and R whenever possible. However, it's also possible to go Q>E>W just so you can land your stuns a bit more frequently, but I max W second for the extra damage. Also dont spam your W too much early on in lane. Syndra is a bit of a mana hungry champion.

• Try to go for and boots on your first back in order to start building as soon as possible. When laning get's a bit rough, depending on the situation, I buy a second doran's ring. The second item I like to build after that is for AP and AP pen alongside and . The rest of the build after this point is situational.

• Practice landing your stuns and keeping track of how long each sphere is going to last on the field after your Q.

• She has NO ESCAPES, so dont push too far up in lane unless you know where the enemy jungler is and that you can smash the hell out of the enemy midlaner. Syndra's only defense in lane is her E. Once that is used, you are pretty much a sitting duck if you are too far up in the lane.

• Runes that I usually use: 9x Red AP pen, 9x Yellow scaling health, 6x blue scaling cdr, 3x blue scaling AP, and 3x Quints AP.

• As cheesy as this sounds, if you know that you can 100 -0 enemy adc's or other squishy champs, spam your Q's until you have enough spheres to decimate your foes.

• Most importantly, when in doubt, ult :^)

Max Q and then E if they have assassins or W 2nd if they have low mobility and you want to burst more. Try to save your E for when assassins jump on you as it can stun with a Q sphere. For her ult you want to use your Q 1 or 2 times (can be 3 or 4 I think with max CDR) and then ult for more balls. Remember, if you hit R and THEN the ult still goes off while you're safe. Just practice with her and you'll get the hang of her :)

Really and truly... It's practice that'll make you get better. It's weird because her combos are so diverse, there's the E-Q /E-W combo (harder if ur ping is high) but it's mainly ball management that makes her harder, that and the fact that she can move while casting abilities makes it kinda easy to mess up and misposition urself. First item try to get and boots, then use the w-q combo to waveclear caster minions. Try not to spam ur spells before you get lost chapter as she's quite mana hungry. try to only use ur e when ur actually trying to stun someone rather than for the waveclear (u can use it for waveclear when ur trying to just back), get used to the delayed w throw as well s being able to move and cast ur q and w. U can also use the arcing of the w to ur favor to confuse the enemy. Also if you are going to attack try using W and Q at the same approximate time, give less chance for them to dodge you and also gives a higher chance of one of them hitting. The goodish thing (something that should get nerfed imo cuz it makes her sooo much easier rn) is that the passive 2 second increase on the q ball duration makes ball management alot easier and preps ur ult. Remember that the ult can be paired with the e to jsut be utility in a teamfight (don't always limit urself to only using the e to stun one target then ult a specific person) Syndra is very fun and you can always learn new stuff with her.

The items i usually go for are and or I almost always start with and 3 just because of the passive allowing for more health being restored and more mana. The stacking also helps (tho tbh i dont usually build it into anything unless i have excess gold and i can) I wouldn't suggest it until you learn how to harrass but not waste mana as most ap champs will start with Dorans ring and the mana regen passive is evident

Press r :)

Well pretty simple you max Q W E or Q E W . Its only depend on how good youre to land skillshot with her and how comfortable youre . W is usually for a better slow and extra true damage so more damage at the end but his really previsible . E is more like a insta combo followed with your ult and the cooldown reduction on it (so more stun incoming ) . Q is a tricky ability and hard to master i usually use them for placing my E or W so i miss them alot but it actually chunk the health of the player pretty easily . But be carefull about the mana cost increasing by each level . Early use it for last hit and maybe put 1 point in hit and already set up which playstyle you want because she is actually the best mage to farm in my opinion since you have so much control around last hitting . I know its a big mess wht im writing but i played alot of syndra before and i still play her abit time to time and shes really fun to play .

pretty sure playing vs syndra all she does is miss her skills then press R thunderlord ignite and kills me. i know late game she wasnt even full build my pantheon flash in stunned her and i E to burst her as ez and she pressed R on me before dying an it did 1708 damage with 145 thunderlord and i died 100-0............
