How to win lane as Syndra against Akali · 53.53% win rate over 4,930 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Pre-Shroud, your Q out-ranges and out-trades her Q at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | At 2 you still poke freely before her Shroud changes trades. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 QE gives you a hard stun she cannot answer yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Through 4-5 you keep zoning her off farm and deny her spike. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | At 6 you still hold priority before her ultimate reset lands. |
| First item | Even / skill | Level 6 is even-skill: her two R dashes swing the all-in if you misuse E. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | Post-item your stun and teamfight range reassert your control. |
You crush levels 1-5. Before Shroud comes online at 2 she has no safe way to trade, and your Q both out-ranges and out-damages her Five Point Strike. Punch her every time she walks up for a minion — a QE stun plus Q chunk shoves her off the wave and denies her the resource she needs to spike.
