Zilean vs Syndra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use bomb zones and speed manipulation to control Syndra's poke and punish her immobility.
Deny Syndra's sphere setup by zoning and forcing her to miss (E) stuns.
Hold (R) to counter Syndra's burst all-in and protect your ADC or yourself.

Trading pattern

Set double bombs on minions or slowed targets to maximize stun threat and poke.
Use (E) speed to engage or disengage around (E) cooldown window.
Punish Syndra when she misses (E) stun by stepping up and forcing trades.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun when spheres are positioned; avoid standing near minions she controls.
Beware Syndra's level 6 (R) burst all-in; hold (R) for key defensive saves.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is upgraded and poke cooldowns are up.

Early game

Track level 2 to contest bombs and speed trades if your mid-lane ally can follow.
Avoid overextending before level 6 as (E) stun punishes forward positioning.
Use early wave control to limit Syndra's sphere placement and reduce her stun threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks bomb plus speed for stronger short trades; contest wave with ADC support.
Level 3 grants (W) for double bomb setups; use brush control to maximize poke.
Level 6 (R) enables clutch revives; coordinate with ADC for aggressive all-ins or defensive resets.

Win conditions

Control lane with double bomb zones and speed boosts to deny Syndra's burst windows.
Use (R) to negate Syndra's all-in threat and force her to hesitate on committing.
Support ADC kiting and trades by timing speed and bomb stuns around Syndra's cooldowns.
