Overview of the Syndra – Vanguard Composition Strength in TFT Season 12
Syndra in TFT Season 12 has been designed by Riot Games as a “hyper carry” champion of the Sorcerer system. This unit deals increasingly more area damage and reduces magic resistance the more skills it casts. This will push the damage output of both Syndra and allied champions to extremely high levels as the rounds progress.
However, to buy enough time for Syndra to cast multiple spells, players must build a strong frontline. According to various trials from top players, the 4 Vanguard threshold is very suitable for this. The main tanks will be Rumble and Mordekaiser, as they possess excellent shielding abilities. When rerolling to upgrade Syndra, players should also pay attention to push these units to 3 stars.
Building the Syndra – Vanguard Composition in TFT Season 12
In the early game, players should aim to use a 1-cost spellcaster to hold items for Syndra. Zoe is a perfect choice as this unit can pair with Galio to activate the 3 Mystic threshold. This is extremely important at the start of the game as it helps players save a lot of health.
After reaching level 6, players will bring important units like Syndra, Rumble, and Mordekaiser onto the board. If lucky, players can aim for the 4 Vanguard and 2 Sorcerer threshold right from level 6. This composition will ensure excellent survivability for Syndra to continuously cast spells from the backline.
After upgrading Syndra to 3 stars, players will aim to reach level 8 to finalize their composition. If they can purchase multiple Mordekaiser from the shop, they can reroll at level 8 to upgrade this unit to 3 stars. In the late game, valuable 4-cost champions like Karma, Nami, or Tahm Kench will be excellent choices to supplement damage and crowd control.
Some Tips When Playing the Syndra – Vanguard Composition
An interesting point about Syndra is that this unit prioritizes energy recovery and attack speed items over AP-boosting items. The reason is that the Shojin Spear – Nashor’s Fang combo with Red Buff allows Syndra to continuously regain energy and cast a lot of spells. Additionally, if players are lucky enough to obtain the Sorcerer Emblem, they should give it to Nami to enhance their crowd control capabilities.
