| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 Syndra's Q gives her a real poke while an un-upgraded Viktor is passive and farm-focused. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 Syndra's added W poke pressures a Viktor who still can't trade back effectively. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 the QE stun lets Syndra hard-punish Viktor before his Q shield stabilizes him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Level 6 Syndra's R all-in burst beats a Viktor who needs to land a slow W field to combo. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | First-item Syndra out-damages a still-evolving Viktor and denies the farm his spikes need. |
| First item | Syndra | Mid-game Syndra QE-stuns through Viktor's Gravity Field, winning skirmishes before he completes evolutions. |
| Two+ items | Syndra | Full build the game should already be decided by Syndra's lead, and her R deletes Viktor before Chaos Storm ramps. |
Syndra bullies Viktor in the early levels: he is farm-dependent and weak until he upgrades his Q, and Syndra's Q poke plus level-3 QE stun punish him hard. Viktor wants to soak farm safely and evolve his abilities, so Syndra should deny minions and keep him under pressure. His Gravity Field is slow to arm, so a QE stun can interrupt his combo attempts.
