Syndra vs Vex

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.
Focus on denying Vex's passive fear trades by using Q and W to control space and poke from range.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to bait out Vex's passive fear, then punish overcommitments with E stun into R burst.
Avoid committing if E stun is down, as Syndra is immobile and vulnerable to Vex's burst.
Use sphere setup carefully to maximize control and threat before engaging.

Danger windows

Syndra is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown or missed, as she lacks mobility and can be all-inned by Vex.
Respect Vex's passive fear timing and R availability, as these enable her strongest all-in windows.
Avoid extended trades if Syndra misses spells, as Vex can capitalize on her immobility.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke and zone early, avoiding extended trades before level 6 when Vex's passive fear and R engage are strongest.
Respect Vex's high early game agency by holding E for punishing her all-in attempts after her fear is used.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes are level 6 R for burst and first completed mage item for damage.
Vex's major spikes to respect are level 6 R engage/reset and first completed AP burst item.
Syndra's level 11 and 16 Q upgrades increase poke frequency and stun threat, strengthening lane control.

Win conditions

Use Q and W to maintain poke pressure and control lane space, denying Vex's fear setups.
Look for E stuns to lock Vex down and follow with R burst during her passive cooldown.
Punish Vex's immobility outside her R reset windows by forcing trades when her fear is down.

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