Naafiri vs Syndra

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri should use Q poke to chip Syndra and create kill pressure before committing to all-ins.
Pressure Syndra early to deny her safe scaling and avoid giving her calm control over the lane.

Trading pattern

Start trades with Q poke to apply bleed and gauge Syndra's crowd control availability.
Commit W and E only when Syndra’s Syndra E is on cooldown or missed to avoid stun.
Use R to chase isolated or low-health Syndra after successful poke or cooldown punishes.

Danger windows

Syndra’s Syndra E stun combined with her spheres creates lethal all-in windows; avoid committing W during this.
Committing W into Syndra’s crowd control or multiple blockers is punishable.
If Q misses, your all-in threat drops, so avoid forced engages without bleed pressure.

Early game

Use Q to poke Syndra and avoid committing W until her Syndra E is down.
Keep the wave from trapping you to maintain safe angles for W engages.
Avoid all-ins before level 6 when R enhances chase and burst potential.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R significantly boosts chase and burst, increasing kill threat.
First lethality item completion amplifies Q poke and all-in damage.
Syndra's level 6 Syndra R burst and Syndra Q upgrades increase her threat; respect these spikes.

Win conditions

Win by landing consistent Q poke to reduce Syndra’s health before committing.
Punish Syndra when her Syndra E is down with W and R-enhanced all-ins.
Use R to secure kills on isolated or low-health Syndra targets after poke and cooldown windows.

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