How to win lane as Ekko against Syndra · 53.67% win rate over 3,186 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither champion's full combo threatens yet at level 1, so it's an even skill matchup. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Same even footing at level 2 before either ultimate or key items come online. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Syndra's stacked-sphere stun combo starts one-shotting you outright from level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | That ranged burst-and-stun advantage continues through levels 4-5 as she zones freely. |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Her R adds extra spheres for an even more reliable kill combo at level 6. |
| First item | Ekko | Ekko's first item closes the damage gap fast, letting your all-in trades even out. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | By two-plus items your reset-capable R and burst outscale her combo once you close the gap. |
Levels 1-2 are close skill matchups as neither ultimate or full combo is online yet, but from level 3 Syndra's Q-W-E stun-and-burst combo starts one-shotting you from safe range if you get caught by even one sphere, so you're forced to play passively and dodge her stun setups rather than trade back.
