How to win lane as Syndra against Katarina · 47.4% win rate over 6,312 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 favours you as Katarina has no safe trade before her daggers and eats your poke. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 favours you because you shove and deny her the resets she needs to snowball. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 favours you since E stuns her out of Shunpo and cancels her combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 favour you as short QQE trades beat her before she gets a reset. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Level 6 favours you because your E interrupts Death Lotus on reaction. |
| First item | Syndra | First item favours you as Zhonya's plus E neutralize her all-in entirely. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | At two-plus items you favour lane by poking her off daggers and stunning every engage. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Katarina is a weak, mana-less lane bully only once she snowballs, and your Q Dark Sphere out-pokes her before daggers come online.
