The cleanest control mirror in the game — ball placement against her cooldowns, and the better-positioned sphere wins.
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 Orianna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Level 1 favours you before Syndra has the spheres to out-range your ball. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 flips to Syndra once her Q-E scatter-stun comes online and out-pokes you. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 is Syndra's as her cheaper, longer-range spheres win the trade war. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay Syndra's because her stun zones you off farm with impunity. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is skill — her point-and-click execute matches your setup ult only with jungle help. |
| First item | Syndra | First item favours Syndra as sphere-empowered burst spikes past your shielding. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | At two-plus items Syndra out-scales the poke duel and chunks you from max range. |
Only level 1 is yours, before her spheres are online; land the ball early because from level 2 on she out-ranges your Command: Attack and her Q-E stun dictates the wave. Track Scatter the Weak: 15s at every rank — the Q-E stun cone starts every kill combo, so stay off the line between her and her spheres and step up only in its downtime.
