Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ahri.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 is yours: her Orb reaches 970 to your Dark Sphere's 800, but the sphere drops almost instantly where her Orb has to travel out and back for full damage, so you tag every last-hit she takes and she cannot answer in kind. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | At 2 you have the Q-plus-auto poke pattern before she spikes. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 QE gives you a stun she must respect: Scatter the Weak is a skillshot, but a sphere dropped at her feet leaves almost nowhere to sidestep. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Through 4-5 you push and roam faster and punish every Charm whiff. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your R burst beats her even through Spirit Rush mobility. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item lets you one-combo her before she can dash away. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items plus your teamfight CC scale past her single-target dive. |
You control levels 1-2: her Orb reaches 970 to your Dark Sphere's 800, but your Q drops almost instantly with no travel time to sidestep, and every time she steps into last-hit range you threaten a Dark Sphere auto-plus-Q chunk. Don't get greedy walking into Charm range, but from max range you win every extended trade. Track Ahri Charm: 12s cooldown, matchup-defining — it starts every kill pattern; stay behind minions while it is up.
