Syndra vs Diana

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst control mage with medium lane pressure who must manage sphere placement to threaten E stuns and R all-ins.
Deny Diana's early all-in windows by controlling space with Q and W and avoid giving her free engages.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to control space, holding E to punish Diana's committed engages or missed Diana Q.
Punish Diana if she uses Diana E without resetting cooldown or misses Diana Q by landing E stun into R burst.
Avoid trading if E stun is not ready, as Syndra has no escape and can be all-ined by Diana.

Danger windows

Syndra is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown or missed, as she lacks mobility and can be punished hard.
Diana is dangerous when Diana Q and Diana E are up, especially combined with electrocute for burst.
Be cautious around Diana's level 6 Diana R all-in threat and avoid overextending without E ready.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke and zone before Diana hits level 3 power spike with Q-W-E burst combo.
Respect Diana's Diana Q and Diana E cooldowns to avoid her all-in attempts.
Avoid committing if E is down since Syndra is immobile and vulnerable to Diana's engage.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes: level 6 R for burst all-ins and first completed mage item for stronger poke.
Diana's major spikes: level 3 unlocks her Q-W-E burst combo and level 6 R for all-in threat.
Respect Diana's level 3 and 6 spikes by playing safe and punishing cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use Q and W to zone Diana and force her to miss Diana Q, then punish with E stun into R burst.
Deny Diana's all-in by respecting Diana E cooldown and punishing when it is down.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to threaten kill combos and control lane with sphere setups for E stuns.
