Zed vs Syndra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin looking to burst Syndra before she can set up her sphere control and stun combo.
Use lane pressure to deny Syndra a calm scaling lane and force her to play reactively.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with W + E for guaranteed damage, follow up with Q to finish, and use R for all-in burst.
Respect Syndra E stun threat; avoid committing when spheres are positioned for her E.
Punish Syndra's missed E by all-inning quickly before she can reposition or retaliate.

Danger windows

Zed is most vulnerable before level 3 when his combo is incomplete and Syndra's poke is strong.
Missing W to engage leaves Zed open to Syndra's poke and E stun; avoid risky engages without W.
Syndra's E stun combined with R burst at level 6 can quickly punish Zed if caught out of position.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before level 3 as Zed is vulnerable to Syndra's poke and stun setup.
Use W + E to trade when Syndra E is on cooldown to minimize her counterplay.
Pressure the wave early to punish Syndra's immobility and prevent her from safely placing spheres.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Zed's full W-E-Q combo, enabling strong short trades and all-in attempts.
Level 6 R is a major all-in power spike to burst Syndra before she can react.
Syndra's level 6 Syndra R and first completed mage item increase her burst threat; respect these spikes.

Win conditions

Use high mobility and burst to kill Syndra before she can set up her sphere control and stun.
Deny Syndra safe scaling by pressuring the wave and forcing her to miss farm or use cooldowns defensively.
Capitalize on Syndra's missed Syndra E to all-in and snowball lane control.

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