Syndra Build Breakdown

Early Game

Syndra starts slow, let's be honest. Her early spells pack a punch, but they drain mana like crazy.  That's why we need to focus on sustain and a little extra oomph:

• Luden's Echo: This isn't just about damage and mana. The real magic is the passive – those bolts that zap multiple targets? Perfect for clearing minion waves fast or harassing enemies from a safer distance.
• Ionian Boots of Lucidity: Syndra's mana problems are no joke. These boots, with their energy restoration, are a lifesaver. Plus, some cooldown reduction never hurts!

Mid Game

Now Syndra's getting dangerous. Remember, she's a champ who uses offense as her best defense. Time to crank up the damage:

• Infinity Orb: Big damage boost, and hear this: it gets even nastier when enemies are low on health. Pair that with her 'Unleashed Power' skill, and someone's getting vaporized.
• Rabadon's Deathcap: The classic mage item. Pure power with some spicy magic penetration on the side. Get this, and her damage goes through the roof.

Late Game

Syndra's a late-game monster if she plays smart.  Her passive gives her even more AP, and her ult can execute low-health enemies. Now, with all that power, we need a tiny bit of insurance:

• Crown of the Shattered Queen: We still get damage and penetration, but the shield it provides is key. It's NOT going to make her super tanky, but it buys Syndra just enough time to escape if she gets jumped. Those assassins won't know what hit them.
• Void Staff: If the enemy team is stacking magic resist, this cuts right through it. Keep those spells hitting hard!

Syndra's Runes

Three runes stand out as fantastic choices for Syndra:

• Electrocute: If you're up against a squishy champion who can't easily escape, go for Electrocute. It packs a serious punch (194 + 40% bonus damage), perfect for obliterating a low-health target in one combo.
• First Strike: This is another excellent option, especially in the current meta. Dealing 9% bonus true damage, it's a nightmare for champions who rely on hefty heals when they face Syndra's burst.

Ultimately, the best rune depends on the matchup and your own playstyle. Experiment to find what feels most powerful!

Syndra's abilities

Transcendent

Every time you level up a skill or land a damaging ability on an enemy champion, you earn 2 stacks of Transcendent. Keep an eye on your progress—once you reach 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 stacks, you'll unlock powerful upgrades for Syndra's abilities, just like Kai'Sa's evolution mechanic!

Remember, only your ultimate requires the full 100 stacks to evolve. Keep track of your progress with the small square at the bottom of your screen; it displays your current stack count of those potent Dark Fragments.

Dark Sphere

Syndra conjures damaging spheres at her chosen location. After upgrading this ability, she can summon two spheres at once! There's a slight delay between each sphere, so be strategic with your placement. I like to position them between myself and the enemy, setting up perfect stuns when combined with Scatter the Weak.

In teamfights, aim to have as many spheres on the field as possible. Your ultimate, Unleashed Power, scales its damage based on the number of spheres ready to blast your foes.

Force of Will

Direct a sphere to a target location, slowing and damaging anyone caught in its path. Its upgraded form adds a burst of true damage!  Note that unlike the PC version, this won't work on large jungle monsters in Wild Rift.

Scatter the Weak

Syndra unleashes a cone of energy, knocking enemies back. Any enemy struck by a sphere will be stunned instead! Upgrading this ability increases its range. I love using this with Dark Sphere for easy stuns and amazing crowd control in teamfights, especially in tight spaces where it's harder for the enemy to dodge.

Unleashed Power

Syndra hurls all her gathered Dark Fragments at a target. The upgraded version increases the range and executes low-health enemies, also dealing devastating damage to those nearby. Group your enemies together to maximize this ultimate's destructive potential – a Nami ult makes the perfect setup for a wicked combo!

How to play Syndra

I've logged over 100 games with Syndra on the PBE server, and I'm ready to share the secrets to mastering this powerful mage. At her core, Syndra's all about those orbs. The more you create, the more devastating your combos can be. Let's break it down:

Essential Combos:

• Combo 1: 1-3-4 (Force of Will - Scatter the Weak - Unleash Power) A solid opening burst to harass your midlane opponent.
• Combo 2: 2-3-4 (Dark Sphere - Scatter the Weak - Unleash Power) This packs a stronger punch, especially once you've stacked some spheres!

Early Game:

Early on, Syndra needs to play it safe. She shines as she levels up and stacks her passive, so prioritize last-hitting minions and generating spheres. While it's tempting to save Scatter the Weak for escapes, don't be afraid to use it aggressively. This ability zones your enemy, lets you dictate trades, and builds up pressure. Just keep those jungle ganks in mind!

Mid Game: 

Always open a fight by summoning a Dark Sphere or two – more spheres mean more damage. Force of Will lets you manipulate them into position, so get creative! Remember, Scatter the Weak is an incredible weapon:  use it to stun a key enemy or throw their whole team into chaos.

Late Game: 

Stick with your team and hunt down vulnerable targets. Syndra struggles against highly mobile champions, so prioritize squishy enemies.  And never underestimate the power of a well-placed Scatter the Weak – it can turn the tide of a teamfight when used aggressively.

Syndra pros and cons

Pros

• Explosive Power: Syndra can obliterate opponents with a rapid burst of magical damage.
• Crowd Control Queen: Her stuns and slows hinder enemies, giving her the upper hand in fights.
• Long-Range Dominance: Syndra pokes enemies from afar and clears minion waves with ease, controlling the lane effectively.
• Teamfight Terror: With "Scatter the Weak" and "Unleashed Power," she can turn the tide of a teamfight in an instant.

Cons

• Vulnerable to Lockdown: If enemies have multiple ways to stun or trap her, Syndra can quickly become a sitting duck.
• Early Game Weakness: Until she unlocks "Scatter the Weak," Syndra is an easy target for aggressive junglers.
• Risky Aggression: Pushing the lane too hard without vision leaves Syndra dangerously exposed to ganks.
