Syndra vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a burst mage with medium lane pressure who must control space using Q and W to prevent Yone from engaging with his E + Q combo.
Focus on denying Yone's scaling by punishing his vulnerable moments before he can reliably enter and exit trades.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to control space, holding E to punish Yone's committed engages when he uses E to gap close.
Capitalize on Yone's E cooldown by landing E stuns into R burst for quick trades.
Avoid trading if E stun is missed or Yone still has his Q knockup ready, as he can punish your immobility.

Danger windows

Syndra is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown or missed, as she has no escape and can be all-inned.
Respect Yone E and Q third cast knockup combo, which enables his all-in threat.
Beware of Yone's well-timed Yone R that can instantly turn fights and displace you.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke and zone Yone early, exploiting his low early agency and vulnerability before level 3.
Avoid committing if E is down, as missing E leaves you immobile and vulnerable to Yone's all-ins.
Keep sphere setup ready to threaten your E stun and discourage Yone's E + Q engages.

Power spikes

Syndra's level 6 R and first completed mage item are major spikes to threaten all-ins.
Syndra's level 11 and 16 further enhance poke and stun frequency with maxed Q.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of his Q-W-E combo and first back item spike, as his damage and shield improve significantly.

Win conditions

Use Q and W to maintain lane control and force Yone to use E defensively, then punish with E stun into R burst.
Deny Yone's scaling by punishing his E cooldown and avoiding trades without your stun ready.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to threaten kill windows and snowball lane dominance.
