How to win lane as Anivia against Syndra · 49.77% win rate over 2,208 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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 | Same story at level 4 — her poke range and stun combo continue to outvalue your trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 remain hers since her zone pressure and burst threshold still outpace your kit. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Glacial Storm coming online gives you the range and area to finally punish her overextensions, flipping the lane. |
| First item | Anivia | Your kiting and Storm zone control keep dominating her stun-combo kit in skirmishes. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | 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.
