Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Syndra

    Each Dark Sphere fired by Unleashed Power (R) deals its own damage, so with several spheres out your ultimate rolls many separate crit chances for bigger burst.

  2. Eureka

    Prismatic

    Gain Ability Haste equal to 20% Ability Power.

    Why on Syndra

    More haste on Dark Sphere (Q) means more spheres on the field for Scatter the Weak (E) stuns and more spheres thrown by Unleashed Power (R).

  3. Phenomenal Evil

    Gold

    Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.

    Why on Syndra

    Dark Sphere (Q), Force of Will (W) and Scatter the Weak (E) land often in every fight, steadily stacking AP that raises your Unleashed Power (R) damage per sphere.
