In lane try to harass with either you W or Q (or both as a follow up) when they try to farm. Aiming is a bit difficult with her W being obvious (but this works as a zoning technique) and her Q having the delay.

However, one fun trick is establish a pattern, farm with your Q for the laning phase till around level 4 (which is when you should take your E.) Break this pattern! When you see an opening "farm" with your Q and then stun them using your E. You can essentially get free harass at this point. Even though you've broken your pattern if you wait long enough (sometimes you can save doing this till 6 and simply farm) and then you can set up an easy kill & or First Blood.

As for her ult, make sure to manage your spheres and remember which was placed when, if you want to maximize your damage make sure to use your W on the oldest sphere to extend its duration. Once you're ready, stun and instagib whoever you please (given you have suffiencient spheres)

Build wise, Rush a Grail and get CDR boots as the CDR removal on DFG gives her a lack of. Get a rabanababanabab-dons second and build almost pure AP. Hopefully your jungler isn't Blue dependent as Syndra puts strain on even a Grail with her rapid ability casts. Start maxing your Q first till you get a feel with her then max W in games where you feel you have finally gotten a hold of her playstyle
