Syndra Build 26.22

When Is Syndra Strongest?

The peak lands in the mid-game once the core items come together, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. Syndra wins by catching a target with the stun and emptying her spheres into them before they react, so she hunts for angles where a single pick decides the fight.

Syndra Item Build

Syndra is a burst mage who rules the lane with her spheres. The build stacks ability power so each orb hits harder and her ult, which fires every sphere she's holding at one target, becomes a full delete on a squishy.

Best Syndra Runes

Arcane Comet plays into her poke-and-punish lane, where a single sphere in the face collects the gold and pressures the wave at the same time. It rewards the early trades her long range already sets up. Build the rest for ability haste and mana so she can keep spheres on the map without running dry.

Syndra Skill Order

Although Scatter the Weak gets the level 2 point, it sits at rank one until 14, so the stun is a utility button while Dark Sphere takes levels 1, 4 and 5 and does the actual damage in every early trade.

Syndra Abilities

Behind the sphere combo runs Transcendent, a passive that collects Splinters of Wrath to upgrade each spell, an extra Dark Sphere charge, true damage on the throw, a wider stun, and an execute on the ultimate. Force of Will can hurl a minion for the slow when no sphere is handy.

Syndra Matchups

Syndra's matchups hinge on landing the stun. She needs a sphere and her scatter lined up to lock a target, so immobile mages feed her free poke, while mobile assassins who slip the stun and jump on her are the lanes that keep her honest.
