Syndra Counters

The best champions globally to counter Syndra include Aphelios, Samira, and Zeri. These picks are all good at countering Syndra with decent win rates over 57%. Even if these Syndra counter picks are not chosen in your lane, it's not a good idea to play her into these matchups. They will usually beat Syndra.

Conversely, if the other team brings either Tahm Kench or Teemo, you should seriously think about choosing her, as she easily destroys these champs with win rates over 52% against each ofthem.

Syndra excels in the mid-game where her damage potential can be quite staggering. This performance is typically due to the accumulation of key component items that strengthens her abilities. As an opponent, strive to delay her item acquisition by denying farm and securing objectives.

Although Syndra boasts significant burst damage potential, she is largely immobile. As such, she can be easily overwhelmed with multi-layered crowd control (CC). Exploit this weakness by using CC-heavy champions or effects to suppress her damage output.

Recognize that Syndra relies heavily on her E ability for protection. This ability aids her survival when pushing up lanes and escaping from ganks. So, try to engage her when her E ability is on cooldown, as this is when she's most vulnerable.

Positioning is crucial when playing against Syndra. She tends to be quite susceptible to misposition, which can easily be capitalized on. Remember that she is burst reliant, so catching her out of position can favor a swift and fatal counterplay.

Syndra's significant burst damage can sometimes lead to one-shotting carries. Her R and E combo, in particular, can CC an entire enemy team if they are grouped up. Spread out during team fights to minimize the effectiveness of her combo and focus on attacking her.

Syndra peaks at levels 3, 6, and 16, where she acquires all her primary abilities or her abilities become maxed out, enhancing her burst trades and damage output. Understand these power spikes and play defensively during these levels while capitalizing on her vulnerability in between.

Dealing with Syndra in the late game involves staying vigilant of her potential to dish out a lot of damage, which keeps the enemy on their toes. Build Magic Resistance items and ensure your positioning during team fights is optimal to reduce her impact.
