Ziggs vs Syndra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs is a high-pressure artillery mage who wants to control lane with long-range poke and waveclear against Syndra's burst control mage style.
Focus on maintaining lane pressure to deny Syndra calm scaling and punish her immobility and reliance on sphere setups.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and zone with E to control Syndra's approach and force her to miss sphere setups.
Save W as a disengage tool to knock Syndra away if she attempts to all-in with Syndra E stun.
Punish Syndra when Syndra E is on cooldown or missed by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.

Danger windows

Syndra is dangerous when Syndra E is available with spheres placed to stun and combo with Syndra R.
Ziggs is vulnerable when W is down as he loses his main peel and turret execute tool.
Avoid extended trades if low on mana to prevent losing lane control and becoming vulnerable to Syndra all-ins.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke from range and clear waves quickly to prevent Syndra from setting up spheres safely.
Avoid standing close enough for Syndra to land E stun combos; keep W ready to disengage if she commits.
Pressure Syndra before level 6 to exploit her low early agency and immobility.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: level 6 R for long-range burst and first completed mage poke item.
Syndra major spikes: level 6 Syndra R burst and first completed mage item to respect her increased kill threat.
Respect Syndra's level 11 and 16 when Syndra Q cooldown lowers and poke threat increases.

Win conditions

Use superior waveclear and poke to keep Syndra low and deny her sphere setups.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage using W execute on low turrets.
Punish missed Syndra E stuns by forcing trades and controlling the wave to prevent her scaling safely.
