How To Play Fated Syndra - Set 11 Challenger Guide

Hey! I am Frobei, I have been Challenger multiple sets in a row and I've been making TFT guides for years so stick around or follow me for more content!

This guide features Fated Syndra, a comp that's a bit tricky to play at first because of the new trait: Fated. So here's how to play it!

Fated is currently an OP trait that allows you to link two units to get unique bonuses. Starting from 5 Fated, all these bonuses are shared with all the other Fated units. Ideally, you want to link Yasuo and Thresh to give tons of shields and resistances to everyone making your team naturally tanky so Syndra can scale with her spell and items!

PS: If you have a Fated Emblem I recommend you to go for 7 Fated and give that emblem to Illaoi so she can also become an unkillable tank!

GAMEPLAN This is a 4 cost comp so here's how to play it:

• Consider this comp only if you have a stabilized early game where don't lose too much HP and you find items for Syndra
• Play stage 2 and 3 "normally" (try to win most fights and build your econ as much as you can)
• Push lvl 7 at stage 4-1
• Push lvl 8 at stage 4-5
• Roll for your 4 cost upgrades
• Rebuild your econ and plan to push lvl 9 to find 5 cost units

If you want to know more about how to optimize your economy and use it efficiently for a 4 cost comp, I have a much deeper post here: https://www.tacter.com/tft/guides/how-optimize-your-economy-in-tft-set-11-economy-guide-3784208a

Notes: thanks to the shield provided by Yasuo and the resistances provided by Thresh, both Aphelios and Kindred are great tanks and will buy the time you need to win fights with Ahri and Yasuo.

Syndra's best items in this particular setup are all about making fights longer so she can scale more. So things like Gunblade and Archangel are extremely valuable but not necessary to have a good game. You can still have a powerful build with Rabaddon and Nashor's Tooth.
