Hold your engage until E is down or angled poorly. - Bait her waveclear from fog, then move first to the objective while her stun threat is unavailable. Avoid walking through narrow river paths where Q-E controls the entrance. - Spread so her stun cannot start a multi-target burst. Force her to use E defensively, then commit before it returns. ## Where Syndra is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Syndra controls space through spheres but has no mobility, so flank pressure can collapse her casting room. - Syndra's burst is frontloaded into setup spells, making her weaker when enemies survive the first rotation. ## Syndra counters: questions ### Who counters Syndra in Mid?
