Syndra Item Build
AP LOADOUT · SYNDRASyndra spends a cast creating each Dark Sphere before her other spells can exploit it. Force of Will throws one; Scatter the Weak knocks one back to stun the enemy it hits, and Unleashed Power uses them all against one champion. The builds preserve an AP carry line and a tankier AP route.
AP Syndra is the direct carry variant, lining up Shushei's Mana Jug, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Deathfire Grasp as its core. Dark Sphere (Q) takes first priority; Scatter the Weak (E) knocks its spheres into enemies for stuns, and Unleashed Power (R) sends all of them at one champion.

AP Syndra Build
APBoth Syndra builds max 
Dark Sphere first, take 
Sorcerer's Shoes and buy 
Deathfire Grasp, 
Void Staff and 
Zhonya's Hourglass. The AP page finishes with 
Rabadon's Deathcap and 
Shushei's Mana Jug, the only mana answer across the two. The AP Tank page finishes with 
Warmog's Armor and 
Shurelya's Reverie instead, giving up scaling for the ability to arrive and then survive. 
Transcendent rewards the first page more, since the upgrade matters most when the spells are already landing hard. Neither page buys magic resist, which for a champion wanting to stand still and cast is the weakness they share.
AP Tank Syndra Build
AP TankShurelya's Reverie and Warmog's Armor consume two core slots, shifting the setup toward durability without discarding its offensive spine. 
Force of Will (W) moves ahead of the knockback-and-stun spell in the skill order, prioritizing Syndra's pickup-and-throw magic damage and slow before her other control tool.
