Syndra vs Ahri

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst control mage with medium lane pressure who must use Q and W to control space and punish Ahri's forward movement.
Deny Ahri a calm scaling lane by exploiting her vulnerability before level 6 and when Ahri R is down.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to zone Ahri and hold E to punish her commits or Ahri E attempts.
Avoid extended trades without E available since Syndra is immobile and vulnerable.
Use E stun into R burst windows when Ahri is exposed or after she wastes Ahri E or Ahri R.

Danger windows

Syndra is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown, as she lacks mobility and escape.
Ahri is dangerous when Ahri E is available and Ahri R is up for follow-up or escape.
Avoid extended trades if Ahri's wave is large or if Ahri has just used Ahri R to reposition safely.

Early game

Play cautiously early as Ahri has high early agency and can threaten short trades with Ahri Q and W.
Use Q and W to poke and maintain sphere control but avoid overextending without E ready.
Respect Ahri E cooldown to avoid getting caught; punish if she misses Ahri E or uses Ahri R to escape.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item to maximize burst.
Ahri's major spikes are level 6 Ahri R and first completed mage item; respect these to avoid lethal picks.
Level 11 and 16 increase Syndra's Q poke frequency and damage, strengthening lane control.

Win conditions

Use Q and W to control space and force Ahri to play defensively before level 6.
Punish missed Ahri E or Ahri R cooldown with E stun into R burst all-ins.
Maintain sphere setup to threaten stuns and burst, denying Ahri safe farming and roam opportunities.

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