Syndra vs Aphelios Matchup Summary

Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Aphelios's 33.3%, giving Syndra a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Syndra dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Aphelios players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

7.7Syndra
7.4Aphelios

Damage
1,037Syndra
919Aphelios
Syndra heavily out-damages Aphelios by 118 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Aphelios 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
16,002Syndra
15,954Aphelios
Syndra and Aphelios generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 48 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.7Syndra
0.5Aphelios
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Aphelios, 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. Aphelios should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
332Syndra
701Aphelios
Aphelios vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 369 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Aphelios can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Syndra is forced to recall.
