Syndra Overview and Identity

Syndra is a control burst mage who wins by creating lane priority and punishing mispositioning. She spikes hard when her stun and ultimate are available, making her a dominant mid game pick in coordinated play. Syndra is often chosen in [Solo Boost](/lol-boosting/solo-boost) orders because her lane control is reliable. If you want to learn her mechanics, [Duo Boost](/lol-boosting/duo-boost) provides real time feedback.

Champion Stats vs Each Rank

Syndra performs well when players respect her spacing and cooldown windows. | Rank | Win Rate | Pick Rate | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Iron | 51% | 4% | Focus on safe trades | | Gold | 50% | 5% | Lane control drives wins | | Platinum | 50% | 6% | Stun accuracy matters | | Diamond | 49% | 7% | Pick potential is key | | Master+ | 48% | 8% | Macro and vision decide | These trends mirror EloAscend results from [Gold to Platinum Boost](/lol-boosting/gold-to-platinum) and [Platinum to Diamond Boost](/lol-boosting/platinum-to-diamond) sessions.

Win Conditions and Game Plan

Syndra wins through wave control, stun setups, and objective pressure.

Early game plan

- Use Q to control wave and poke safely. - Trade only when enemy cooldowns are down. - Hold stun for gank setup or protection.

Mid game plan

- Roam with jungle to secure picks. - Set vision before objectives, then force a stun pick. - Use ultimate to secure key kills before fights.

Late game plan

- Play front to back and keep spacing. - Save stun for divers. - Focus on removing one threat early in the fight. These habits are critical in [Emerald to Diamond Boost](/lol-boosting/emerald-to-diamond) and [Diamond to Master Boost](/lol-boosting/diamond-to-master) orders.

Item Builds and Rune Paths

Syndra builds should maximize burst while keeping you safe.

Core build

- Early AP burst item - Magic penetration to punish squishies - Defensive option if you are a primary target

Situational items

- Zhonya vs dive comps - Banshees vs heavy pick - Void staff vs tanks

Rune paths

- Electrocute for burst - First strike for scaling

Matchup Chart and Draft Notes

Syndra excels into short range mages but struggles against assassins with mobility. | Matchup Type | Champions | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Easy | Ryze, Corki, Twisted Fate | Punish early and roam | | Skill | Orianna, Viktor, Ahri | Win with spacing | | Hard | Zed, Fizz, LeBlanc | Respect kill windows | Draft advice: pick Syndra when your team needs reliable burst and lane priority.

Tips from Our Challenger Syndra Mains

- Hold stun for the highest value target. - Keep a sphere ready for stun angles. - Do not overextend without vision. - Use ultimate to secure picks before objectives. - Reset on tempo to maintain lane control. These tips are part of our [Syndra Main Boost](/lol-boosting/syndra-main) playbook and show up in [Gold to Diamond Boost](/lol-boosting/gold-to-diamond) orders.
