Verdict: The numbers lean slightly Fizz (54.04% win rate), even though Syndra pressures 2 of the 7 stage windows — convert your windows below and the stats swing your way.

At a glance

You are the reason her class dodges queues — fish through the wave, hop the one answer, and erase her at 6.

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.

Do

  • Fish Q-W strings through her wave
  • Pole her ONE answer spell, then commit
  • Shark the recall walk after chip wins

Don't

  • Hop in before her CC is down or baited
  • Burn E for farm or spacing
  • Dive at even HP pre-6 out of boredom

Favour timeline — the windows in Fizz's game plan

Read from Fizz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.

This is Fizz's own plan; across 12,993 pooled games the lane is leaning Fizz.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SyndraLevel 1 is hers: Dark Sphere reaches 800 to your 550 Urchin Strike and lands almost instantly, so last-hit at the edge of the wave and give up the CS you cannot take clean
Level 2SyndraLevel 2 stays hers: Force of Will throws a sphere 925 and slows, and you have no hop until 3, so take Seastone Trident last-hits and hold your Q
Level 3Even / skillLevel 3 your dive potential starts clearly outweighing her lack of mobility
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 your all-in wins trades even through her poke damage
Level 6FizzLevel 6 her ultimate is targeted, so only a Playful/Trickster hop timed on her cast dodges it — do that and she has nothing left for your dive
First itemEven / skillFirst item your burst lets you kill her before she completes her stun-nuke combo
Two+ itemsEven / skillLate game her zero mobility means you can dive her in every fight all game

How to beat Syndra as Fizz: the early game

Syndra's spheres let her poke you down from range in the earliest levels, but she has zero dashes and a fairly telegraphed stun in Scatter the Weak, so once Fizz closes distance with Urchin Strike he wins the actual extended trade. Levels 1-2 are hers — she zones you off farm and you have no hop yet — but from 3 to 5 your all-in potential already outpaces her ability to peel herself away from it.
