Syndra the Dark Sovereign

Syndra is a fearsome Ionian mage with incredible power at her command. As a child, she disturbed the village elders with her reckless and wild magic. She was sent away to be taught greater control, but eventually discovered her supposed mentor was restraining her abilities. Forming her feelings of betrayal and hurt into dark spheres of energy, Syndra has sworn to destroy all who would try to control her.

MetaBot Tips

  • Syndra has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Syndra has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Syndra has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
