| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even window: her E stun threat trades against your waveclear and root. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Even at 6: her R execute is offset by your ability to track spheres and disengage. |

Syndra out-ranges and out-pokes you at level 1-2: her Q Dark Sphere chips you from a safe distance and a sphere flicked with E Scatter the Weak is a long stun that sets up her jungler. This is a hard lane on the numbers, so give ground, dodge behind the wave, and don't let her free-stack spheres on you.
