How to win lane as Syndra against Taliyah · 55.41% win rate over 1,554 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 is yours because your instant Q out-trades her slow-ramping Threaded Volley. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 stays Syndra's as W-Q poke punishes her mana-hungry early casts. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 is yours since holding E for her W knockback denies her burst setup. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Levels 4-5 remain yours because you out-poke her while her Q still needs full stacks. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Level 6 favours you as your ult is a kill threat and hers is only a roam tool. |
| First item | Syndra | First item is yours: Ludens bursts her before her Q ramps and stacked balls punish her engage. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | 2+ items stays Syndra's because you out-pick single targets even as she gains teamfight zoning. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q is instant and heavy while Taliyah's Threaded Volley ramps over five casts and drains her mana, so open with Q to zone and punish every attempt she makes to poke. Sidestep the volley and she gets nothing for a big mana cost.
