Luden’s Tempest offers significant burst damage, allowing Syndra to quickly burst down opponents with her abilities. It also grants her additional mana and ability haste, improving her overall utility and sustain in extended fights. Pair it with Electrocute for even more burst potential.
Liandry’s Anguish is a great option for Syndra if you’re facing tanky champions who are hard to burst down. Its passive burn damage scales with the target’s max health, allowing you to shred through tanks over time. The item also gives you some much-needed ability haste, which allows you to cast your spells more frequently in team fights.

SYNDRA TIPS AND TRICKS
Syndra’s Early Game:
Hard Matchups: If you’re facing a champion with high all-in potential like Fizz or Irelia, it’s best to avoid touching the wave and focus on poking safely with W > Q while attempting to save E for all ins or jungle ganks. Just try your best to go for first strike gold.
Less Aggressive Matchups: You have two options: either push the wave and coordinate with your jungler to make plays, or freeze the wave and zone the enemy laner with W > Q while holding on to your E ability for potential jungle ganks.
Syndra’s Mid-Late Game:
In the mid-late game, this is where Syndra truly shines with her full magic pen build. Look for opportunities to pick off enemy champions with your W > Q > E > R combo, especially when your team is grouped up and pressuring objectives. Don’t forget to keep up with your CS and side wave management, and use your TP wisely to maintain map pressure. Remember, landing your stun is crucial for securing kills, so focus on mastering its timing and placement. Also, don’t forget to position yourself properly to avoid getting caught out and ending up dying with objectives up.
