Syndra vs Ekko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst control mage with medium lane pressure who must manage sphere placement to threaten E stun and R burst.
Deny Ekko's short trade windows by controlling space with Q and W and avoid giving him easy setups for Ekko W stun.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to control space and hold E to punish Ekko's aggressive Ekko E engages or Ekko W setups.
Capitalize on Ekko's delayed Ekko W activation by trading aggressively during its windup.
Avoid extended trades if E stun is missed, as Syndra is vulnerable to Ekko's high mobility and burst.

Danger windows

Syndra is in danger when E is on cooldown and Ekko can all-in with Ekko E and Ekko W stun.
Ekko level 6 Ekko R allows him to dodge Syndra's burst and reset fights, so avoid risky trades post-6 without E ready.
Missed Ekko W setup leaves Ekko vulnerable to Syndra's immediate punishment with E stun and R burst.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke and zone before Ekko hits level 6 to pressure his weaker early game.
Avoid committing if E is down since Syndra has no mobility and is vulnerable to Ekko's burst and mobility.
Punish Ekko's missed Ekko Q or Ekko W setup by landing E stun into burst trades.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes are level 6 R burst and first completed mage item for stronger poke and kill threat.
Respect Ekko's level 3 unlock of his Q-W-E combo for burst and mobility, and his level 6 Ekko R for safety and reset.
Syndra's max Q cooldown reduction at 11 and 16 increases poke frequency and stun threat.

Win conditions

Win by zoning Ekko with Q and W to deny his short trades and punish his setup delays with E stun into R burst.
Exploit Ekko's vulnerability before level 6 by aggressive poke and punishing missed Ekko Q or Ekko W.
Use sphere positioning to maximize E stun threat and force Ekko to play cautiously, securing lane control and scaling safely.
