Abilities[]

Edit

Transcendent

Transcendent

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

  • Dealing two instances of ability damage to an enemy champion within 4 seconds grants 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 5 Splinters, up to 85.
  • Killing a large minion grants 1 Splinter.

Collecting a Splinter of Wrath from an enemy restores Mana icon 20 − 215 (based on level) mana. Splinters of Wrath are brought to Syndra from enemies over 0.6 seconds.

Transcendent 2

At 120 Splinters of Wrath, Syndra achieves Transcendence, increasing her Ability power icon ability power by 15%.

Syndra can collect Splinters of Wrath from enemies even if she is at maximum stacks. These Splinters do not grant any stacks, but will still restore mana for Syndra.

Info
  • Syndra's abilities gain additional visual effects when they reach their Splinter 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.

Edit

Dark Sphere

Dark Sphere

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

Magic Damage:
75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 (+ 60% AP)
Dark Sphere 2

Transcendent Transcendent Bonus: Collecting 40 Splinters of Wrath causes Syndra to periodically stock a Dark Sphere charge, up to a maximum of 2.

Dark Sphere will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Info

  • There is no limit as to how many Dark Spheres can be active at a time.

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 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 (+ 70% AP)
Slow:

Force of Will 4

Transcendent Transcendent Bonus: Collecting 60 Splinters of Wrath enhances Force of Will to deal Hybrid penetration icon 12% (+ 2% per 100 AP) 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 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

Magic Damage:
75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 (+ 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 80 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.

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 only champion to directly manipulate minions and neutral monsters to deal damage to other champions, moving them around with her abilities.
  • 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]
