Hello everybody, this is my first guide. Syndra is great AP champion - most played on middle lane. Lets start with this short video what will help you a lot: Play Video

Pros Great burst damage with her Unleashed Power Stun and slow combos Spamable, high damage and low CD - Dark Sphere 3 of 4 spells can be cast while moving Very fast farm with Dark Sphere

Cons High mana cost Need skill to play good Somewhat squishy Low game before reaching lvl 6 in match

I take standard APcarry and mana regen masteries 21-0-9

My starting item is
and 2x

But also you can start with these:
and 4x

At first recall I buy Chalice of Harmony and if I have gold boots or some healing and mana potions. Then I buy Athene's Unholy Grail and Rabadon's Deathcap These are Core items. Then you can choose between items in this guide or maybe this items:

This item gives you a lot of mana but you already have mana regen from Athene's Unholy Grail. I buy this item for Diana or Malzahar not Syndra.

Again you have CD reduction from your Athene's Unholy Grail. But if you want more CD-reduction buy it.

Passive is Transcendent

-- Each of Syndra's abilities gain an extra effect at maximum rank

Her Q is Dark Sphere

>TRANSCENDENT BONUS: Deals 15% bonus damage against Champions.

Her W is Force of Will

>TRANSCENDENT BONUS: Increases the slowing duration to 2 seconds.

Her E is Scatter the Weak

>TRANSCENDENT BONUS: Spell width increased by 50%.

Her ULTIMATE is Unleashed Power

All Dark Spheres remain on the ground for 6 seconds after Unleashed Power is used.

My spell maxing:

I usually take Ignite and Flash

You can also take Heal or Ghost but another spells are not so good.

Cast Dark Sphere to the enemy champion, then use Force of Will to slow him then Scatter the Weak for stun, cast next Dark Sphere and kill him with Unleashed Power. If Unleashed Power didnt kill him use Dark Sphere if he is still stunned. If he is not use AA and Ignite on him.
You can see this combo in this video but he didn use ultimate (Most of you will not understand but its great video and it helped me) Play Video

FARM with Dark Sphere and Force of Will. But it cost a LOT OF MANA so ask your jungler for blue. If your team have good jungler he will give it to you. Dont AA enemy minions because you can easily get under enemy turret and die. LAST-HITTING and spells are your priority.

Syndra is very good in teamfights but you need a lot of skill. Im using Unleashed Power first and then Scatter the Weak for stun as much enemy champions as I can. Its helping your team a lot. Then Im spamming Dark Sphere and throwing it to fleeing enemies with Force of Will.

So this is my first guide (but I hope not the last). Im not from English speaking country so sorry for my English. I hope that my guide will help you, because Syndra is great champion. Thank you very much for reading. Bye
