Syndra vs Garen Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Garen matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Garen's 36.4%, giving Syndra a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Garen outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Garen reaches their power spikes, while Garen should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Garen leads by 916 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra players can confidently pick into Garen and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Garen away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
7.8Syndra
7.7Garen
Syndra and Garen farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 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
833Syndra
652Garen
Syndra heavily out-damages Garen by 181 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Garen 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.

11,455Garen
Garen generates a commanding 820 more gold per game than Syndra. This substantial economic advantage means Garen consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.5Syndra
0.9Garen
Syndra provides 0.6 seconds more crowd control per minute than Garen, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Syndra coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
358Syndra
1,275Garen
Garen vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 916 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Garen 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.

Best Syndra Build Against Garen

Crimson Lucidity is the optimal boots choice against Garen, providing the mobility and stats Syndra needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Syndra against Garen are Cosmic Drive, Void Staff and Rabadon's Deathcap.

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 83.3% win rate — a 66.7 percentage point lead over Garen. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Garen is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 60.0% win rate — 20.0 points above Syndra. Extended games heavily favor Garen, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Syndra must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Garen reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Garen survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
