How to win lane as Syndra against Qiyana · 53.96% win rate over 2,387 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 is yours because Qiyana must enter melee range to do anything and your Q zones that space for free. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 stays Syndra's as your two-spell poke punishes her weak elementless early trades. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 is yours since QE stun cleanly answers her only engage tool, the Q dash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 remain yours because you out-range her and can shove her off the elements she needs. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Level 6 favours you as your ult and pre-placed stun neutralize her flank all-in before it lands. |
| First item | Syndra | First item is yours: Ludens burst plus stacked balls one-shots her before she closes the gap. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | 2+ items stays Syndra's since disciplined flank-warding and E for her engage lets your superior teamfight win out. |
Levels 1-2 are firmly yours: Qiyana is melee-range dependent and her early damage is poor until she controls elements, so open with Q to zone and punish every last-hit she reaches for. Keep the wave slightly toward you and she can't farm without eating harass.
