how to hit a 7 sphere ult as syndra?

i learned on my own that you can extend the duration of spheres by picking them up when they're about to disappear (quite proud of that find hehe) but i can only get at most 6 spheres. it's still usually enough to one shot a squishy, but i want to feel good and hit a fat 7 sphere ult. what else can i do to extend sphere duration? does e help at all?

It's all about working the cdr and having the mana to spam spheres. Good on you for figuring it out on your own. :D

The window you have to 7 sphere is short.

You need CDR and to increase the duration of the first sphere about to expire with W. Thats about it. The problem is its not really practical to 7 sphere in most fights so unless you go out of your way to do it you probably wont.

There's no reason to try this hard on a champion that takes skill. Just take ignite, electrocute and a champion like Ekko/Zed/Akali that just have to point and click with massive mobility and you can one shot champions easier than by setting up this hard combo.

I'm a former diamond Vel'Koz main that now gets to watch no skill retards point and click on me and kill me instantly whether they hit their skillshots or not. So just give in and either do what I did (stop playing the game) or play the no skill point and click electrocute ignite retards.

Q Q W (first Q) Q Q W R

W extends the duration of the first Q

I think the spheres fire one at a time, so maybe you can cast one while you're ulting and it'll add it before the other 6 finish. I'm not a syndra player so I don't know for sure

To be honest you shouldn't focus too much on getting 7 spheres. You should rather focus on landing your stun. Because once you land it you can easily 100-0 them with only a 5 sphere ultimate (ofc requires full combo including w and q).

If you focus on setting up 7 sphere ultimate you are probably just wasting mana and also not using your spells at the right time to punish your lane opponent for last hitting minions.

So you're essentially doing it right. but there is neat little trick. Place a Q, then another Q, then wait like half a second and pick up your first Q, place another Q, throw the Q you picked up, press R, and place an additional Q while your ultimate is firing the spheres. The ultimate picks up any spheres that are placed while being casted. There you go - a 7 sphere ult!

If you make the target q_q you only need 5 orbs.

CDR and spam

Be a lot easier to just WQREW on a Leblanc. Kills faster and safer.

Also totally not possible to do with a single mouse button.

Late game full cdr build bring out two Q's. W the first one before it dies, Throw out another Q. Stun here if possible. Ult Before sphere two dies. Q as you're ulting for Seven sphere ult. Will take time to get the hang of.

Lol, aww adorable (srry if that came out abit condescending didn’t mean it to) U need cdr (max) and even then ull only have a split second to use all 7 spheres in the ult. Plus it’s gonna eat up a helluva lot of mana usually. And u have to pay attention to which sphere is which. Basically u want to q twice pick up the first q, Q again and then this is where u have the split second to react... Q one more time and ult at the same time (it’s like less than a second u'll have of 7 balls) often times with the last q the first sphere will dissipate, It’s pretty much impossible to do during a team fight (cuz it takes a lot of set up and focus, u can’t really spare much time to keep track of the enemy and what they’re doing). So u could use it as a sneak pick if ur lucky enough haha. (tho ur lucky enough if ur able to use 6 in a random teamfight.). Don’t stress too much about landing 7. U’ll blow through a lot of mana unnecessarily most of the time, tho it feels frigging amazing when u manage to pull it off. Practice a lot, and good luck!!

Other than that, u can wait for urf xD

U know about the E-Q combo?

FilDaFunk8/3/2018, 10:21:53 PM1 votes

Q Q When the first sphere is about to run out, use w to refresh it. Q for 3 spheres. QR immediately together.

Squishies sometimes blow up just from QE, so the 7 balls aren't worth it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9BTsXpZPJ0 Not 7 ball but i figured it would go like this. W the one that's about to time out to extend it's life and hit Q to spawn a new ball again before casting ult, by the time your ult almost finishes it will pick up the last ball that just finished spawning.

I think E does help extend duration but I don't play syndra enough to know that confidently.

Another tip to make your W go further, and faster with no animation, is to walk forward than backward, than forward again positioning the orb or minion infront of you by doing that, and then using W again to throw it.

It's damn super unpredictable, and damn near undodgable.

Also CDR/ spam Q and extend them with ur W is the key, but realistically, it's next to impossible to get a full 7 orb ulti. You can thank all the people who bitched about her R for that. Kinda funny when you look at the current meta and how everybody presses one button to kill you in half a second without even having to land a skillshot. Syndra can't do it now, but everyone else can xD.

Funny how this game works...

Try to get 40% cdr, then all you got to do is Q Q R lol
