Hwei vs Syndra

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range control mage who must use his spellbook variety to poke and control space against Syndra's burst and stun threat.
Pressure Syndra early to deny her calm scaling and avoid giving her free setups for Syndra E + R all-ins.

Trading pattern

Control space with long-range Q and W poke, then punish Syndra if she misses Syndra E stun by using your E CC to counter-engage.
Avoid trading when Syndra's spheres are positioned for a Syndra E stun; respect her setup.
Use your E spellbook CC reactively to counter Syndra's burst attempts rather than initiating trades without it.

Danger windows

Syndra is dangerous when Syndra E is up with spheres positioned to stun; avoid overextending during this window.
Be cautious when Syndra has full sphere setup and Syndra R ready, as her burst can be lethal.
Syndra is vulnerable if she misses Syndra E; look to punish immediately with your E CC and poke.

Early game

Use Q and W poke combined with E spellbook CC to control the wave and punish Syndra's immobility before level 6.
Avoid committing when Syndra E (E) is available to prevent getting stunned.
Hold E spellbook root or fear defensively to disrupt Syndra's engage attempts.

Power spikes

Hwei's level 3 unlocks full spellbook options for poke, control, and shielding, increasing lane pressure.
Hwei's level 6 R provides a strong all-in threat to punish Syndra's immobility.
Respect Syndra's level 6 R burst and her first completed mage item power spike for all-in windows.

Win conditions

Use your superior range and E CC to control the lane and deny Syndra safe farming and sphere setups.
Punish Syndra's missed Syndra E stuns with your E root or fear and follow up with poke or all-in at level 6.
Reach level 6 and first item power spike to threaten R all-ins, forcing Syndra to play reactively.
