Tryndamere is a powerful duelist and split-pusher who excels in the top lane. His unique ability to become immortal and high damage output makes him a formidable opponent in both 1v1 situations and team fights.

Core Strengths:

  • Exceptional dueling potential
  • Strong split-pushing capabilities
  • High survival through ultimate ability
  • Excellent scaling with crit items
  • Strong early and late game presence

Key Abilities:

Passive - Battle Rage

  • Gains Fury from attacks (5 from basic attacks, 10 from crits/last hits)
  • Each point of Fury grants 0.4% crit chance (max 40%)
  • Loses 5 Fury per second when out of combat for 8 seconds

Q - Bloodthirst

  • Passive: Increases AD based on missing health
  • Active: Consumes Fury to heal
  • Max first for increased damage and sustain

W - Mocking Call

  • Reduces nearby enemies' AD
  • Slows enemies facing away from Tryndamere
  • Max last

E - Spinning Slash

  • Dash that deals physical damage
  • Generates 4 Fury per enemy hit
  • Cooldown reduces on crits (doubled for champion hits)
  • Max second

R - Undying Rage

  • Becomes immortal for 5 seconds
  • Instantly generates Fury
  • Can be cast while CC'd

Optimal Skill Order: E > Q > Q > W > Q > R > Q > E > Q > E > R > E > E > W > W > R > W > W

Core Strategy:

  1. Use E to engage
  2. Apply W to weaken and slow target
  3. Auto-attack to build Fury
  4. Use R when low health
  5. Time Q heal before R expires
  6. Use E to chase or escape

Weaknesses:

  • Vulnerable to kiting
  • Susceptible to CC
  • Challenging mid-game phase
  • Requires proper timing of ultimate

Strong Against:

  • Bruisers (Renekton, Olaf)
  • Split-pushers (Yorick)
  • Champions without hard CC

Weak Against:

  • Tanks (Malphite, Tahm Kench)
  • Anti-split push champions (Singed)
  • Heavy CC compositions

Tryndamere serves as an excellent choice for players seeking a straightforward carry top laner with strong split-pushing capabilities and the potential to turn seemingly lost fights through strategic ultimate usage.
