Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Syndra: her longer-range Q out-pokes Veigar and controls the wave from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Syndra: superior early burst and range let her chunk Veigar without committing to a trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Syndra: sustained poke keeps Veigar low and behind on farm before his cage exists. |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Syndra: her Level 6 R is a burst execute that can one-shot Veigar with spheres out. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Syndra: her E stun into Q gives a reliable all-in that punishes the immobile Veigar on sight. |
| First item | Syndra | Syndra: through the mid game she out-tempos Veigar's stacking and keeps repeated kill pressure. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Veigar: at full build his uncapped AP exceeds Syndra's finite scaling, and a landed cage into R deletes her first. |
Syndra out-pokes Veigar in the early laning phase with her Dark Sphere, which has more range and flexibility than Baleful Strike, letting her chunk Veigar and control the wave without exposing herself. Veigar has to farm carefully at max range and accept that he is behind on poke until his stacks and cage come online. Track Scatter the Weak: 15s flat — the QE stun starts every kill combo; stay off the sphere line and step up in the window after she throws it.
