R (Unleashed Power) deals more damage with more spheres on the field — place as many Qs as possible before R for maximum burst.
The burst combo is Q then E (Scatter the Weak, pushes spheres for stun) then W (throw a sphere) then Q then R.
E pushes ALL spheres on the field as a stun — place spheres strategically to maximize the stun zone.
Syndra is a lane bully: abuse your Q range to zone and poke the enemy starting at level 1.

Playing against Syndra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Avoid standing in line with her spheres: her E pushes them and stuns everything they pass through.
Syndra is immobile: assassins and gap-closers punish her easily.
Her R is targeted and cannot be dodged — buy MR and HP to survive, or Banshee's Veil to block it.
In the early game, her mana is limited: force her to spam her spells and she'll run out quickly.
