How to win lane as Syndra against Naafiri · 52.1% win rate over 6,887 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 favours you because Naafiri's melee-range damage eats your poke on approach. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 stays yours as QE chunks her before she can stack daggers. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 favours you: a held E stuns her dash and denies her all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 are yours since you out-poke her and punish every gap-close. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Level 6 is skill-decided because her R shield, packmates, and dash range give her a real all-in if your E is down. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item you swing back ahead as your burst plus Zhonya's negates her dive. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | With 2+ items you out-scale her lane-bully all-in and pick her from range. |
You win levels 1-2: Naafiri's damage is melee-range, so poke her with QE as she approaches, keep a sphere up, and E-Q her the moment she dashes in before she stacks daggers.
