Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cassiopeia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | At level 1 you out-range boots-less Cassiopeia and poke her freely with Q. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 your Q keeps chipping her while her short early range can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | At 3 your QE stun lands on a champion with no dash and no movement speed. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 are her weakest phase and you poke and shove while she's mana-starved. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Your R bursts her before her stacks ramp, and turning away denies her R stun. |
| First item | Syndra | First-item burst kills her inside the stun before her sustained DPS comes online. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Your E disengage and R pick let you beat her before her ramped late-game DPS wins fair fights. |
You have a clear edge at 1-2: Cassiopeia has no boots and short range early, so your 800-unit Q pokes her freely while her Noxious Blast struggles to reach you. Step up and auto-Q her off the wave and she falls behind on CS with no movement speed to dodge. Track Cassiopeia Miasma: 24s at rank 1, 16s max — the ground lasts moments, the downtime lasts most of half a minute, and that downtime is your all-in window.
