Syndra Mid guide
Syndra mid is a burst mage built around Dark Sphere (Q), Scatter the Weak (E), and Unleashed Power (R): drop Dark Spheres (Q) near a target, knock them back with Scatter the Weak (E) so any sphere they hit stuns them, then bombard them with every Dark Sphere (Q) on the field through Unleashed Power (R).
