Syndra vs Kassadin

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst control mage who must pressure Kassadin early to deny his safe scaling lane.
Use medium lane pressure to prevent Kassadin from farming comfortably and reaching level 6 unpunished.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W, then hold E to punish Kassadin's attempts to all-in or use Kassadin R.
Avoid missing E stun as Syndra has no mobility to escape Kassadin's post-6 burst.
After Kassadin hits 6, respect his R for short trades and only commit when E stun is guaranteed.

Danger windows

Syndra is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Kassadin has R and mana to engage.
Missing E stun opens Syndra to Kassadin's all-in burst with R.
Kassadin's short trades post-6 are dangerous if Syndra overextends without sphere setup or E ready.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke Kassadin and control space before level 6 when he has low agency.
Avoid extended trades without E ready since Kassadin's mobility is low pre-6.
Punish Kassadin's weak wave control by forcing short trades and zoning him from farm.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item to increase burst threat.
Kassadin's major spike is level 6 R granting mobility and burst, requiring respect.
Syndra's level 11 and 16 Q upgrades improve poke frequency and stun threat, increasing lane control.

Win conditions

Use Q and W to zone Kassadin and deny safe farming before level 6.
Look for E stun into R burst windows to punish Kassadin's low early mobility.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Kassadin from scaling freely and snowball through roams or side pressure.

Tip: For Syndra vs Kassadin, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
