Track: Azir's E — Shifting Sands (22–16s cooldown). His shield-dash to a soldier — engage the window after he burns it.
Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Azir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | You out-range Azir at level 1 and hit him directly with Q while his soldiers only chip. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 you can already trade with Q-plus-auto and he lacks the mana and range to answer. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | At 3 your QE stun punishes every soldier step-up and he has no dash to escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 you shove and poke freely while his weak early game keeps him pinned under tower. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your level 6 R executes a squishy immobile Azir before his defensive ult matters. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item your burst combo kills him before his soldier scaling and tower passive arrive. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Even at two-plus items your R pick lets you end the game before Azir's late-game DPS takes over. |
You out-range and out-trade Azir at levels 1-2: your Q reaches 800 units and hits him directly, while his soldiers do chip damage and cost mana he cannot afford early. Auto-plus-Q him whenever he steps up to last-hit and he bleeds fast with no way to punish back. Track Azir Shifting Sands: 22s at rank 1, 16s max — his only dash and a shield that eats your burst; once he burns it he is immobile for the full timer, so that is the QE window.
