Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
This is Syndra's own plan; across 3,824 pooled games the lane is leaning Syndra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 favours you because Syndra's Q out-ranges everything Pantheon has and Aegis only blocks one instance. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays yours since your two-spell poke chunks him while his Mortal Will passive needs stacks he can't safely build. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 is yours: QE stun plus empowered slow cleanly punishes his E-gap engage attempts. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain Syndra's as your ranged W-Q trades win before his Comet Spear range matters. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Level 6 flips to Pantheon because his Comet Spear execute and Grand Starfall roam out-tempo your ult in a health race. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays Pantheon's since Eclipse plus Empowered W stun bursts you through Barrier faster than your item lets you kite. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items keeps the cell his because a fed Pantheon's all-in threat forces you off the lane even as you try to scale. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Syndra out-ranges Pantheon hard, so open with Q on the caster minion line to zone and land free harass whenever he walks up to last-hit. His Aegis blocks one bolt but not your minion damage, so trade on the wave and keep him off CS. Track Pantheon Shield Vault (Stun): 13s at rank 1, 9s max — a point-and-click stun; respect the all-in any time it is up. Count it out loud if you must.
