Syndra vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a control mage aiming to pressure and punish Renekton's early aggression through poke and stun setups.
Manage lane pressure to deny Renekton's early fury stacking and prevent him from safely executing short burst trades.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Syndra must survive early all-in windows and leverage her scaling burst to control the lane.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) to chip Renekton, then hold (E) to punish his committed engage or overextension.
Avoid trading if (E) is down since Syndra has no mobility or escape, making her vulnerable to Renekton's burst.
Capitalize on Renekton's cooldowns, especially after he uses both (E) casts forward, to land a stun and follow-up burst with (R).

Danger windows

Renekton is most dangerous when fury is high with empowered (W) and both (E) casts available; avoid extended trades during this window.
Be cautious around Renekton's level 6 (R) which grants him extra durability and all-in potential.
Syndra is vulnerable when (E) is on cooldown or missed, as she lacks mobility and can be all-in'd quickly.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) to poke and control space before level 6, avoiding close-range trades without (E) ready.
Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun and (E) double dash by maintaining distance and holding (E) to punish his engage.
Focus on wave control that prevents Renekton from stacking fury easily and forces him to trade without his full combo.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) unlocks strong single-target burst; use it to force picks or roams when Renekton is low or overextended.
Syndra's first completed mage item improves poke and wave control; increase lane pressure while still respecting Renekton's engage tools.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo with (E), empowered (W), and (Q), avoiding trades unless (E) is ready to punish.

Win conditions

Use (Q) and (W) to control space and poke Renekton, then punish his engages with (E) stun into (R) burst.
Deny Renekton's fury stacking by managing wave states and forcing him into unfavorable trades.
Reach key power spikes and leverage Syndra's scaling to outtrade and pressure Renekton, controlling the lane and enabling roams or resets.
