How to win lane as Yasuo against Syndra · 51.2% win rate over 6,125 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 favors you: Syndra's Dark Sphere (Q) is a slow skillshot Wind Wall eats. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | At level 2 you keep the edge with E mobility against her immobile poke. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 lets you E-gapclose onto her while her Scatter the Weak (E) is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Through levels 4-5 Wind Wall denies her Q and stun so you dictate trades. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | At 6 you kill her before Unleashed Power (R) channels since her stun is Wind Wall-able. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item your crit spike outraces her burst if the stun misses through Wind Wall. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Into 2+ items you hard-outscale her immobile burst-mage kit and never stop engaging. |
Levels 1-2 favor you: Syndra's only early tool is Dark Sphere (Q), a slow single-target skillshot that Wind Wall eats outright, and she's completely immobile. Contest the wave with Steel Tempest, dodge or wall her Q, and set up so your E has a target the moment her lane tools are on cooldown.
