Syndra vs Anivia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst control mage who must use Q and W to control space and poke while preparing E stuns to punish Anivia's slow movement.
Apply medium lane pressure to deny Anivia calm scaling and force her to respect your stun threat.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to bait Anivia Q and punish its cooldown with E stun into R burst.
Respect Anivia Q stun and W terrain block by spacing to avoid getting trapped.
Use E to interrupt Anivia's approach or punish her if she misses Anivia Q.

Danger windows

Syndra is vulnerable when E is on cooldown or missed, as she lacks mobility and sustain.
Respect Anivia Q stun combos and Anivia R zoning which can force bad positioning.
Avoid all-ins if you miss spells or sphere setup, as Anivia can punish your immobility.

Early game

Use early Q and W poke to pressure Anivia before she builds Lost Chapter and scales waveclear.
Avoid extended trades if E is on cooldown since you have no mobility to escape Anivia's counterstuns.
Keep sphere setup ready to punish Anivia's missed Anivia Q or poor positioning.

Power spikes

Syndra spikes at level 6 with R burst and after first mage item for stronger poke.
Maxing Q at 11 and 16 increases poke frequency and stun threat.
Anivia spikes after level 6 and Lost Chapter when she can safely farm and zone with Anivia R.

Win conditions

Control lane with Q and W poke, then punish Anivia's missed Anivia Q or poor positioning with E stun into R burst.
Deny Anivia safe scaling by forcing fights before she completes Lost Chapter and spikes.
Use sphere placement to zone Anivia and create stun setups that lead to kills or summoner advantage.

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