Syndra vs Corki

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 poke Corki before he scales.
Deny Corki safe farming and item spikes by pressuring early and punishing his W cooldown to prevent his repositioning.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to control space, then punish Corki's forward Corki W usage with E stun into R burst.
Avoid committing if E stun is down, as Syndra is immobile and vulnerable to Corki's poke and all-ins.
Respect Corki R poke after level 6 by using spheres to zone and punish overextensions.

Danger windows

Syndra is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown, losing her stun and escape tool.
Corki is dangerous when Corki R is stocked and Corki W is available to reposition.
Avoid all-ins if Syndra misses spells, as Corki can capitalize on her immobility and lack of sustain.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke Corki and force him to use Corki W defensively, reducing his mobility.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 and items, as Corki's poke and mobility can punish missed E stuns.
Keep E ready to punish Corki's attempts to engage or reposition with W.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes are level 6 R for burst and first completed mage item for damage.
Corki's major spikes are level 6 Corki R for sustained poke and first damage item.
Syndra should respect Corki's mid-game item spikes where his poke becomes more oppressive.

Win conditions

Win by using Q and W to zone Corki and punish his Corki W cooldown with E stun into R burst.
Deny Corki safe scaling by pressuring before his item spikes and forcing him to use Corki W defensively.
Control the lane with spheres to create burst windows and prevent Corki from freely poking with Corki R.
