Sivir vs Syndra Counter Pick

Syndra deals her damage in separate bursts, and each one is a possible target for Spell Shield. Dark Sphere, a Force of Will throw, and Scatter the Weak are all single casts. If Sivir blocks the one that opens a combo, Syndra is left holding spheres with nothing to chain them into. That pattern is why Sivir wins 58.0% of her 212 recorded games on patch 16.13.1.

Unleashed Power is the exception, and it is the reason this matchup can’t be treated as easy. It sends every sphere Syndra holds into one champion, and 2,368 health at level 18 doesn’t protect Sivir from a fully stacked Transcendent. So Spell Shield works best when it’s saved for that moment, not used to block minor poke. Otherwise the stats favour Sivir. Syndra starts with 25 base armor and 583 health to Sivir’s 30 and 600, ends at 2,283 health to Sivir’s 2,368, and reaches 93 armor at level 18 to Sivir’s 98. That’s a slim margin for a champion who has to stand in the right spot to place her spheres. Syndra’s 550 attack range beats Sivir’s 500, which lets her start fights when she chooses. Both champions use mana. Sivir is faster at 335 movement speed to Syndra’s 330, and Fleet of Foot gives her a burst of speed whenever she attacks a champion. The difficulty ratings are 8 for Syndra and 4 for Sivir. Champion details: Sivir and Syndra.
