Do you fit a Rabadon's before Lich Bane, or the other way round? Because while CDR really empowers her early-mid game, she starts to fall off really hard mid-late game unless you start building raw AP.

I often find myself building an early Tear into Codex then CDR boots, before rushing my Deathcap ASAP. For me, it's CDR>AP early game for Syndra, but AP>CDR mid-late game, so I optimize my build this way.

I wonder how you utilize a build like what you mentioned. I've tried Athene's, but the mana regen does not really compensate for just how mana-hungry Syndra is - hell, I run out of mana in a single teamfight with 30+% CDR, and a Lich Bane this early does not do enough damage; plus, whenever I get too close I get vaporized instantly.

How do you even play her with a Lich Bane? I'm not skeptical, but my rarely auto-attack with her and jut poke with my abilities until I see an opening to ult.
