Anivia vs Syndra

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Anivia is a control mage with medium lane pressure who must manage Syndra's burst threat by respecting her stun and ultimate windows.
Focus on wave control and zoning to deny Syndra free farm and force her into vulnerable positions.
Prioritize scaling into teamfights by safely farming and using your zoning tools to control the lane.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) and immediately follow up with (E) for maximum damage.
Place (W) to limit Syndra's positioning and bait her into your (Q) stun.
Punish Syndra aggressively when she misses (E), as she lacks mobility to escape your follow-up damage.

Danger windows

Beware (E) stun combined with her level 6 ultimate burst; avoid overextending without flash.
Missing your (Q) opens you to Syndra's all-in pressure due to your low mobility.
Be extra cautious when your flash is down, as escaping Syndra's burst becomes very difficult.

Early game

Use (W) to block Syndra's movement and force her into your (Q) for stun setups.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 and Lost Chapter when your waveclear and zoning are weaker.
Respect (E) cooldown to avoid getting stunned and bursted early.

Power spikes

Spike strongly after level 6 and Lost Chapter, enabling free waveclear and zoning with (R).
Respect Syndra's level 6 ultimate and (E) stun as her main burst and pick threat.
Track Syndra's first completed mage item to anticipate increased poke and burst damage.

Win conditions

Farm safely to level 6 and Lost Chapter, then use (R) to zone Syndra and force her into bad positioning.
Use (W) to control Syndra's movement and set up (Q) stuns for picks or short trades.
Punish Syndra's missed (E) to engage trades or force her off the wave, denying her scaling opportunities.
