Essential Combos:

  • Q + E: Basic stun combo
  • W + Q + E: Extended range stun
  • Q + Q + Q + R: Maximum damage burst
  • E + Q + W + R: Quick burst combo

The key to mastering Syndra is managing your dark spheres effectively while maintaining proper positioning. Focus on farming and scaling in the early game, then transition to aggressive plays and picks in the mid to late game.

Pro tip: Always track your sphere count and cooldowns to maximize ultimate damage potential in crucial moments.
