Lux vs Syndra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must control lane with poke and binding threat to deny Syndra's space and scaling.
Use high early agency and lane pressure to avoid giving Syndra a passive lane and punish her immobility.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Syndra's oversteps by landing Q root into burst combo.
Respect Syndra E cooldown; engage when her stun is down to avoid lethal trades.
Use W shield proactively to mitigate burst when Syndra commits with her combo.

Danger windows

Syndra E stun combined with R burst is a lethal all-in window; avoid extended trades during this.
Syndra is dangerous when her stun is up and spheres are positioned for control.
Missing Q or W exposes Lux to Syndra's all-in; play cautiously to avoid being punished.

Early game

Use E to poke and maintain lane control while respecting Syndra E stun threat.
Avoid reckless Q usage to prevent Syndra punishing missed skillshots.
Keep range advantage to prevent Syndra's all-in attempts when her stun is ready.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R for strong burst and first completed mage item for increased damage.
Respect Syndra's level 6 R burst and first completed mage item power spikes.
Syndra's level 11 and 16 Q upgrades increase poke frequency and stun threat, requiring careful spacing.

Win conditions

Win by using Q root to punish Syndra's overextensions and follow up with E and R burst.
Deny Syndra calm scaling by maintaining lane pressure and forcing her to miss stun setups.
Use W shield to survive Syndra's burst and leverage superior poke to control lane and snowball.

Tip: For Lux vs Syndra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
