Death fire is pretty good as it allows her to 100-0 most of people. However she is very very mana hungry, so you will not be able to sustain some poke with Q. Get a chalice first, it solves most of problems, then death fire, you can turn the  chalice into athene later if you want but I often rush it. Syndra's combo is pretty mounstrous by itself so Death fire is overkill unless enemy team is too tanky. Void Staff id rather situalcional, but still useful. I rarely take  Lyandry as Syndra is not "poky" or DoT based enoght to make use of the passive, I usually take Zhonyas instead. Also make sure you have at least 20% CDR, likely from athene as with blue you hit 40% .Rebember that 7 balls combo + deathfire kills even galio.

Rylai is ok, but thats it, you can get RoA to ignore chalice if you plan on being tanky, and a catalyms solves your mana problems. Syndra isn't lacking CC at all so to me RoA is a better pick than Rylai, but thats up to you.

Abyssal is super situacional, but is the enemy team is more or less magical and simply get into your face no matter what grab Abyss + zhonyas.

If you are facing an AD champ ignore chalice and get seekers. You will need blue soon however. Blue is not always for you so you will likely have to get chalice once the laning is over. Oh start with cloth,  and some pots of your choise

Make sure you move all day, only stop to last hit, stun or ult, Q and W are used on teh move, for that reason pick boots only if needed, like for example vs Cassio or vs Ahri, but vs some one like Vlad, Ryze or Morde ( who are ultra predictable) take doran + pots, it really helps with mana and you hit somewhat harder.

Also Syndra fares very well vs 100% mele champions such as Volibear, in this case take boots and max Q as always but then take E for the dramatically reduced CD adn the eventual bigger AoE, W is not so useful vs a mele who want to eat your face.

You can get something crazy like warmogs if the enemy team is literaly made of papel, but makes your face explote.
