Playing against Syndra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Avoid standing in line with her spheres: her E pushes them and stuns everything they pass through.

2

Syndra is immobile: assassins and gap-closers punish her easily.

3

Her R is targeted and cannot be dodged — buy MR and HP to survive, or Banshee's Veil to block it.

4

In the early game, her mana is limited: force her to spam her spells and she'll run out quickly.
