Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Abilities[]

Edit

Transcendent

Transcendent

Innate: Syndra collects inheritSplinters of Wrath that enhance each of her abilities based on the number of them collected, stacking up to 120 times. She gains inheritSplinters of Wrath from the following:

  • Dealing two instances of ability damage to an enemy champion within 4 seconds grants Damage mitigated by Master-At-Arms (R)1 / 2 / 3 (based on level) Splinters. This cannot occur on the same target more than once every 8 seconds.
  • Ranking up an ability with any skill points beyond level 1 grants inherit5 Splinters, up to inherit85.
  • Killing a large minion grants inherit1 Splinter.

Collecting a inheritSplinter of Wrath from an enemy restores Mana icon Champions hit by Piltover Peacemakers (Q) at greater than 75% of max range20 − 215 (based on level) mana. inheritSplinters of Wrath are brought to Syndra from enemies over 0.6 seconds.

Transcendent 2

At inherit120 Splinters of Wrath, Syndra achieves Transcendence, increasing her Ability power icon Damage to champions with Center of the Universe (P)ability power by 15%.

Syndra can collect inheritSplinters of Wrath from enemies even if she is at maximum stacks. These inheritSplinters do not grant any stacks, but will still restore Champions hit by Piltover Peacemakers (Q) at greater than 75% of max rangemana for Syndra.

Info
  • Syndra's abilities gain additional visual effects when they reach their inheritSplinter of Wrath thresholds. Her spells will also gain a red colored tint outlining the VFX.
    • Dark Sphere Dark Sphere will cause fractures to appear in the earth when it is used.

Map-Specific Differences

Edit

Dark Sphere

Active: Syndra conjures a Dark Sphere at the target location that appears after a 0.6-second delay, dealing Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to nearby enemies. The Dark Sphere then remains on the ground for 6 seconds.

Magic Damage:
75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 60% AP)
Dark Sphere 2

Transcendent Transcendent Bonus: Collecting inherit40 Splinters of Wrath causes Syndra to periodically stock a Dark Sphere charge, up to a maximum of 2.

Info
  • Dark Sphere can be conjured inside terrain, but cannot be thrown there with Force of Will Force of Will.
  • There is no limit as to how many Dark Spheres can be active at a time.
  • After Syndra gains the Transcendent Transcendent bonus, the number of Dark Sphere charges available is represented by small Sphere icons under her health bar, visible to the player only.

Edit

Force of Will

Force of Will

Active: Syndra grabs the nearest Dark Sphere Dark Sphere, enemy Minion icon minion or non-epic Monster icon monster within 500 units from the target location, and holds the target for 5 seconds. If a Dark Sphere is grabbed, its duration is refreshed; if a minion or monster is grabbed, it is put in Stasis icon stasis. She prioritizes grabbing the nearest unit, then Dark Spheres Dark Spheres.

Force of Will can be recast while the target is being held.

Force of Will 2

Recast: Syndra throws the grabbed target towards the target location, granting Sight icon sight of their surroundings as they fall and dealing Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to them and nearby enemies. All targets hit are Slow icon slowed for 1.5 seconds.

Magic Damage:
70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 70% AP)
Slow:
25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45%
Force of Will 4

Transcendent Transcendent Bonus: Collecting inherit60 Splinters of Wrath enhances Force of Will to deal Hybrid penetration icon inherit12% Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 2% per 100 AP) Skillshots dodged with Void Surge (Q) bonus true damage.

Info
  • The initial cast does not count as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Sheen item Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
    • Detonating the ability manually does.
  • If the ability is not recast within the duration, Syndra will release the unit or Dark Sphere that she is holding.
  • Force of Will does not destroy in-flight Projectile projectiles for the Minion icon minion or Monster icon monster grabbed.
  • Force of Will Remove Scurvy cleanses the target Minion icon minion or Monster icon monster grabbed from all Stun icon crowd control.
  • Force of Will prevents non-sphere targets from dying when picking them up.
  • Force of Will cannot grab units that are being Teleported Teleported on.
  • Syndra can grab Summon Tibbers pets, such as Shaco's Shaco's Jack in the Box Jack in the Box.
  • Casting Teleport Teleport or Recall Recall will cause Syndra to cancel Force of Will autonomously and drop anything she is holding.
  • Grabbing prioritizes Dark Spheres.
  • Enemy Summon Tibbers pets that passively have an effect on their surroundings will continue to affect the area around them while they are being held. For example, Annie's Annie's Tibbers Tibbers will continue to inflict burn damage on surrounding units while being held.
  • Grabbing a Dark Sphere Dark Sphere will cause the duration on it to refresh, but only on the first cast, not when it is thrown.
  • Force of Will has additional effects when targeting the Blue Sentinel Blue Sentinel and Red Brambleback Red Brambleback. Throwing the former will refund 10 Mana resource mana to Syndra upon cast and will reduce the Cooldown icon cooldown of Force of Will by 1 second, while throwing the latter will apply the Crest of Cinders Crest of Cinders burn to any affected units in the area of effect.
  • Force of Will's first cast uses a Force of Will 3 modified icon while it has the Transcendent Transcendent bonus.

Edit

Scatter the Weak

Scatter the Weak

Active: Syndra propels a wave of force in a cone in the target direction that deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to enemies hit and Airborne icon knocks them back for 400 units and up to 800 units away from Syndra based on proximity, though not through terrain.

Magic Damage:
75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 45% AP)

Dark Spheres Dark Spheres can be knocked back for 950 units and up to 1200 units away from Syndra based on proximity, Airborne icon knocking back enemies they hit over 70 units, though not through terrain. Targets hit are also Stun icon stunned for 1.25 seconds, during which they are also Reveal icon revealed, and dealt Scatter the Weak's damage if they were not damaged by the initial cast.

Scatter the Weak 2

Transcendent Transcendent Bonus: Collecting inherit80 Splinters of Wrath enhances Scatter the Weak to have an increased scatter angle and Slow icon slow enemies hit by 70% for 1.25 seconds starting after the Airborne icon knock back ends or if the target was hit by a pushed Dark Sphere, after the Stun icon stun has ended.

Info
  • Scatter the Weak is blocked by the portion of Wind Wall Wind Wall it collides with. Spheres thrown will stop upon colliding with the wall.
  • Spheres spawned at close range of the ability are more likely to be hit.
  • Enemies and spheres will be knocked into the direction directly away from Syndra, and the knock back has no dispersion.
  • Scatter the Weak will knock back Spheres even farther if they are inside terrain, up until they reach open space. If the terrain they're inside in cannot be surpassed, the Spheres will be knocked in the opposite direction.
  • Scatter the Weak will delay the expiration of a Sphere until after it finishes being knocked back.
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
  • Once Scatter the Weak has been learned, an arrow directly in front of every Dark Sphere Dark Sphere will appear to signify the direction the sphere will be knocked towards, each one corresponding to Syndra's position. This is only visible to Syndra.
Dark Sphere directional arrows

Unleashed Power 2

Transcendent Transcendent Bonus: Collecting inherit100 Splinters of Wrath enhances Unleashed Power to Death from Below execute the target if it would damage them to below Attack speed icon Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)15% of their maximum health.

Info
  • Unleashed Power makes Syndra enter a brief cast time, but the initial cast is completed instantly. If she dies during this cast time, Unleashed Power will still complete the remaining effect.
  • Casting Unleashed Power on a target that becomes Untargetable icon untargetable while the spheres are in flight will not destroy them but cause them to deal no damage instead.
  • Spheres already in flight will still travel if Syndra's target dies, but any remaining sphere will not. However, their duration will still get reset.
  • A Dark Sphere summoned very shortly before Unleashed Power will be used as one of the spheres that get thrown.
    • Depending on how many spheres are on the map and how far away the enemy is upon casting Unleashed Power it is possible that Syndra would conjure the sphere behind her as if she was going to throw it, but she won't.
  • Unleashed Power will not add a Sphere that Syndra is holding with Force of Will Force of Will.
  • Spheres that are being pushed by Scatter the Weak Scatter the Weak (normally ones that were made late during the push) will not get picked up for Unleashed Power.

Trivia[]

  • Syndra is the first champion to directly manipulate minions and neutral monsters to deal damage to other champions with Force of Will Force of Will. The only other champion to do so is Sion Sion with Sion's Sion's Roar of the Slayer Roar of the Slayer.
  • Syndra's spheres appear as red instead of blue when on the opposing team. She is the fourth champion to have team perspective based particles, with the third being Draven Draven, the second being Cassiopeia Cassiopeia and the first being Singed Singed.
    • On her Atlantean and Snow Day skins, they appear purple to enemy instead.
  • Using Syndra's Syndra's Force of Will Force of Will to hit an enemy unit with the Red Brambleback Red Brambleback will apply the debuff on them. Also, if Syndra throws the Blue Sentinel Blue Sentinel, she will be refunded 10 mana and the ability's cooldown will be lowered by 1 second.
  • Syndra is the third of the dark-themed Ionian Champions. The first two being Shen Shen & Varus Varus, followed by Zed Zed, Jhin Jhin, Xayah Xayah, & Kayn Kayn.
  • Syndra's imprisonment under the Dream Pool shares some similarities with the Arthurian lore about Lady of the Lake; though Syndra herself is the prisoner, not the jailer.
  • Syndra's dance references the choreography for the song Hoot by Girls' Generation (소녀시대: So Nyeo Shi Dae), a popular Korean girl group.
    • A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
  • Syndra was the third champion to have a difficulty rating of 100, the first being Cassiopeia Cassiopeia, the second being Orianna Orianna, and the fourth being Draven Draven. However, her difficulty rating has since fallen to 80. On release, her difficulty rating was 90.
  • Each of Syndra's abilities gain new graphical details when leveled to max rank. For details, see below in her Skin section.
  • Syndra is the second champion speculated to be omnipotent, or nearly so. The first one was Xerath.
  • As seen in this video, Syndra appears to be able to use the balls from another Syndra.
  • The fact that Syndra's Syndra's Unleashed Power Unleashed Power can use up to seven balls is possibly a reference to the Dragon Ball franchise as there are seven Dragon Balls.
  • Syndra is the second of three dark themed champions to have a light themed skin, with Varus Varus being the first and Aatrox Aatrox being the third.
  • Syndra apparently derives from Proto-Germanic *sundraz ("of/by/for one self"; whence English sunder),[2] with possible influence from unrelated Greek συνδρομή syndrome.[3]
    • Her brother's name, Evard, likewise combines two Germanic elements īhwaz "yew" & wardaz "guard".[4]
