Her kit is projectiles and yours is a wall — dash the gaps, wall the rotation, and bill the lane for every wave she can't contest.
Track: Syndra's E — Scatter the Weak (Stun, 15s cooldown). The QE stun cone starts every kill combo — stay off the line between her and her orbs.
Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 12,312 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 favors you: Dark Sphere (Q) lands where she aims it, so you step off it. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | At level 2 you keep the edge with E mobility against her immobile poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 lets you E-gapclose onto her while her Scatter the Weak (E) is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through levels 4-5 Wind Wall denies Force of Will so you dictate the trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 you kill her first: Unleashed Power reaches only 675 and needs the stun to land. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item your crit spike outraces her burst whenever the 15-second stun misses. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 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), conjured on the ground rather than thrown at you, so you step off it instead of walling it, and she is completely immobile. Contest the wave with Steel Tempest, dodge the sphere, and keep an E target ready for the moment her tools are down. Track Scatter the Weak is 15 seconds flat at every rank: the stun that starts every kill combo — step up the moment it is spent.
