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).

The build

Rune page: First Strike, Magical Footwear, Biscuit Delivery, and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration), with Transcendence and Manaflow Band (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Dark Sphere (Q) at level 1, then maxes Dark Sphere (Q) first with Force of Will (W) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, and Rabadon's Deathcap, with Blackfire Torch, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Cosmic Drive as later options.

Ability mechanics

Force of Will (W) picks up a Dark Sphere (Q) or an enemy minion and throws it for damage and a slow. Scatter the Weak (E) knocks enemies and Dark Spheres (Q) back, stunning any enemy a sphere hits. Unleashed Power (R) bombards a single enemy champion with every Dark Sphere (Q) currently on the field. Transcendent (passive) banks Splinters of Wrath from leveling up and damaging enemies, upgrading Dark Sphere (Q) with an extra charge, Force of Will (W) with bonus true damage, Scatter the Weak (E) with extra width and a stronger slow, and Unleashed Power (R) with an execute against low-health targets.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Fizz, Xerath, Katarina, Sylas, Ahri. Best matchups: Viktor, Hwei, Locke.
