The Sylas versus Syndra matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Sylas deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Syndra deals primarily magic damage (87.00%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Syndra, ranking 8th (versus 57th for Sylas) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.3 versus 2.1) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Sylas player to maintain constant pressure on Syndra, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
