Syndra vs Veigar

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst control mage who must pressure Veigar early to deny his calm stacking and scaling.
Use Q and W to control space and poke, forcing Veigar to farm under pressure rather than safely near his turret.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to force Veigar to farm under pressure, then punish his predictable movement with E stun into R burst.
Respect Veigar's E cooldown; avoid committing when Veigar E is up as it can trap you for Veigar's burst.
If Veigar uses Veigar E poorly or it is on cooldown, look to engage with E stun and R for lethal trades.

Danger windows

Veigar is most dangerous when Veigar E is available to trap and set up his burst.
Be cautious when your E is down; without it you have no escape from Veigar's cage and burst.
Veigar's level 6 R combined with Veigar E can execute low-health targets, so avoid risky trades post-6 without your stun ready.

Early game

Use early Q and W poke to disrupt Veigar's stack farming and prevent him from reaching his scaling thresholds easily.
Avoid missing E as it is your main disengage and stun tool; losing it makes you vulnerable to Veigar's cage and burst.
Keep the wave on your side to limit Veigar's safe farming and punish his immobility.

Power spikes

Syndra's major spikes are level 6 R for burst and first completed mage item for stronger poke.
Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R plus stack growth and first completed mage item.
Respect Veigar's scaling threat; deny him safe farming to delay his power spikes.

Win conditions

Win by using Q and W to pressure Veigar early, denying him safe stack farming and scaling.
Capitalize on missed Veigar E cooldowns with E stun into R burst all-ins.
Maintain lane control to prevent Veigar from reaching his late-game power spikes safely.
