A real poke war — your Q out-ranges, her key spell punishes. Trade bombs and dodge the answer.
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 Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 4,951 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even-to-yours before Syndra has her full trading pattern |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | You still hold the level-2 poke edge before her W comes online |
| Level 3 | Syndra | At 3 Syndra out-trades you once she has Q and W together |
| Levels 4-5 | Syndra | Level 4-5 favours Syndra — her sphere burst and E stun threaten every step-up |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your R gives you wave-clear and skirmish tempo, flipping level 6 to you |
| First item | Syndra | Her item spike at level-6+ lets her one-combo you, favouring Syndra |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At two items you out-range her ult and poke from safety if you dodge her stun |
Levels 1-2 are even to you, but once Syndra has Q+W around level 3 she out-trades you and her Q-E stun threatens any step-up. Give ground, poke only into her cooldowns, and don't stand beside a sphere she can Scatter for a stun. Track Scatter the Weak (E) is a flat 15s at every rank, 650 range — that is your step-up window and the only one.
