Max CDR works great on Syndra in the way you said it. Frost Queens isn't worth it at all nowadays IMO, I find the mana regen too lackluster on Syndra and frankly you should be able to pick targets effectively with some practice.

I'd recommend Void Staff as a 3rd full item. Build would be Mana Regen Item - Boots - Rabadon/Luden (depends on playstyle and matchup, luden's MS is great for my Syndra playstyle personally) - Void Staff. Rylai's is also a great item on her nowadays due to the AoE full slow application.

Hi,
I know that the build hasn't been updated, but what do you think of the below CDR build (45%):
- 6 scaling CDR blue (10% at 18)
- Athena/morello depending on matchup for CDR and mana
- CDR boots
- CDR mastery
It definitely goes with Void Staff (mid or late game) and Rabadon to maximize the damage output and most likely a Zhonya if needed and Luden/any other necessary item (order not defined here).
It could work with Frost Queen and sorce boots but with the recent nerf I am not sure it is worth it (kinda delay your high damage items).
I have been using it a lot and it feels great and useful to cast your ult every 45 sec.
Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I have not updated this guide yet because I wanted to work on various aspects of it. However, I can tell you that I build her mostly the same. You can get Frost Queen's Claim if you need the setup for your Q-E combo or if there's a lot of champions to peel, Rylai's Crystal Scepter works better now that it applies the full slow on AoE. Abyssal is an ok item, but I'd only get it against melee APC's or vs multiple APC's (nid/diana/ekko jungle + apc mid).

I like Thunderlord's on Syndra, although Stormraider's Surge can be quite efficient vs squishier comps for kite/chase. 45% CDR is also great on her.

Good morning,

Are you still building Syndra the same in S6? I was curious to if you've added abyssal to the build at all or not. Also, which masteries do you use?

I actually missed this, thanks for pointing it out!



Thanks!

Just found this error in your guide. Might want to fix it. :p (the lack of bullet points)

I think the issue I brought when I placed Luden so high was that I'm taking my SoloQ approach on Syndra: completely choke out the enemy midlaner. Her post-6 is still claustrophobic to face unless you got a good lead/play a few select number of champs.

I agree, I think against certain champions, when ahead it still might be more beneficial to get Zhonya's Hourglass just for the outplay potential from the invulnerability but I think you're right.


How so? Void Staff is a very cheap item for the amount of ability power it grants. As a third item, champions will have their base magic resistance and maybe some greater glyph of magic resistance's with a Null-Magic Mantle which acquaints to about 60+ magic resist. 35% of that results in a lot more damage output. With all the mages building Athene's Unholy Grail over Morellonomicon now magic resistance is going to be present in more games early. So without void staff you might not be able to 100-0 them.

Obviously within the build I suggested I accidentally forgot to suggest some sort of so you can slot that in of course some time within the build.




It's all up to the player and their experience with Syndra and the win conditions they need to meet.

I think Echo is a perfect rush if you're snowballing, it gives more burst than rabadon (100-0 potential is higher) and I do rush it if I'm ahead. I don't even finish athene's, I just challice > Needlessly Large Rod > Luden's. But only if I'm snowballing well and expect to keep it going (aka making my enemy laner pretty much unnable to lane + roaming).

I really dislike Void Staff as a third item, depends a lot on how the game goes and tank distribution. As for a defensive item, Zhonya is probably all you should stick to in tank meta as well, you should be able to rely in good positioning and your own laners.

Need more time with Syndra

Luden's Tempest is an item which is good early which scales worse into the game the longer it goes on. The passive has a good base damage and offers very similar stats to Rabadon's Deathcap but I would never build either item as a first or second item unless super ahead. Whilst embracing does bring up a very good point and that it would be more beneficial, getting Luden's Tempest allows you to have even more potent waveclear in addition to the splash damage (if it does hit a target) which can be used to finish a target off if you're not in range of them with a spell but the splash damage is (but that's a very circumstantial/situational scenario that'll happen in 1/250 games).

I'd say this would be a better build order. > > > > > But this is all depending on preference and playstyle. :3

Enchanted Armor = Defensive Item

I'm with embracing on this one - there's no reason to get Luden's Tempest on syndra before Rabadon's Deathcap.
