A wave-clear war you eventually win — survive her range early, then R erases waves while your stun threatens her face.
Track: Syndra's E — Scatter the Weak (Stun, 15s cooldown). The QE stun cone starts every kill combo — stay off the line between her and her orbs.
Read from Anivia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Syndra's longer-range orb poke and stun-combo threat outclass Anivia's short trading pattern before level 6. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | She keeps punishing your Egg from range through level 3 while your kit is still cooldown-locked. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 gives her Scatter the Weak — any sphere left beside you is now a full stun. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 remain hers since her zone pressure and burst threshold still outpace your kit. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Glacial Storm coming online gives you the range and area to finally punish her overextensions, flipping the lane. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your kiting and Storm zone control keep dominating her stun-combo kit in skirmishes. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full-build Anivia's teamfight area control out-scales Syndra's single-target burst provided you avoid stun catches. |
Syndra's Dark Sphere spam and stun-combo threat outrange and outpoke your kit before level 6, punishing any trade you try to force. She wants to zone you off CS entirely with orb pressure, so play passively, use minions to block orb angles, and farm safely rather than trading. Watch her stun setup carefully — if she gets both spheres up near you, disengage immediately.
