Syndra vs Ziggs

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Syndra is a medium lane pressure burst mage who must control space with Q and W to threaten E stun into R burst.
Manage lane pressure to deny Ziggs safe waveclear and poke windows without overextending into his poke and displacement.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and W to zone Ziggs, holding E to punish his overcommit or W cooldown with a stun into burst.
Avoid trading when Ziggs's W is available since it can knock you away and negate your engage.
Capitalize on missed Ziggs Q or W to land E stun and follow with R for a strong all-in burst trade.

Danger windows

You are vulnerable when E is on cooldown, as you lack mobility and hard CC to escape Ziggs's poke or all-ins.
Ziggs's W up means he can disengage or reposition, so avoid forcing trades during this window.
Ziggs's R can punish low health or grouped targets; avoid risky positioning post-level 6.

Early game

Use early Q and W poke to contest Ziggs's ranged poke and prevent him from freely clearing waves.
Avoid extended trades without E ready, as missing E leaves you immobile and vulnerable to Ziggs's poke and all-ins.
Respect Ziggs's W cooldown as it is his main defensive tool against your engage attempts.

Power spikes

Syndra's level 6 R unlocks high single-target burst to punish Ziggs's immobility.
First completed mage item significantly increases Syndra's poke and kill pressure.
Ziggs's level 6 R is a major threat to respect, especially when you are low health or grouped.

Win conditions

Use Q and W to control space and poke Ziggs, then look for E stun into R burst when his W is down.
Punish Ziggs's W cooldown and missed Q to force all-in kills or lane dominance.
Deny Ziggs's waveclear and poke by maintaining lane pressure, preventing him from safely scaling or pressuring turrets.
