Nasus vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Nasus vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 54.5% win rate compared to Nasus's 45.5%, giving Syndra a 9.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Nasus outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Nasus reaches their power spikes, while Nasus should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Nasus leads by 1,814 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra has a strong advantage in this matchup. Nasus players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Syndra overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
6.3Nasus
6.6Syndra
Nasus and Syndra farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
690Nasus
1,134Syndra
Syndra heavily out-damages Nasus by 443 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nasus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Syndra's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
9,516Nasus
9,854Syndra
Syndra earns 338 more gold per game than Nasus, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Syndra slightly faster item completions.
Utility
0.6Nasus
1.8Syndra
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Nasus, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Syndra far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Nasus should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
2,233Nasus
418Syndra
Nasus vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 1,814 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nasus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Syndra is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Syndra, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

The top-performing core items for Nasus against Syndra are Trinity Force, Thornmail and Spirit Visage.

Syndra late game win rateSyndra50.0%

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 57.1% win rate — a 14.3 percentage point lead over Nasus. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Nasus at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Syndra. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Syndra has the edge early, but Nasus gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
