Introduction

Greetings summoners my name is mariopwns. This is my very first guide on mobafire. I am making this guide because many of my in game friends asked me to and I already have several followers of this build in game.
Tryndamere is a very strong champion with extremely high chance to kill all mid to late game. Now let's first talk about the pros and cons of
Tryndamere.
News

July 12th, 2012- ACCOUNT STOLEN FROM ME BY HACKER. If anyone knows anything or can help me please do so in the discussion of the guide as I am unable to even log in to my main account. I will continue updating this guide even though my account has been stolen.
July 13th, 2012- ACCOUNT RECLAIMED. After a long and tedious ticket process I finally reclaimed my account. THANK GOD!!!!!!! Plus my build is tied with 2 year reigning title Your Tryndamere Resource. Thank you guys for voting this build up. I never dreamed it would come this far. You guys are awesome.
Aug. 1st, 2012- Goin on a vacation to San Fransico :D. Can't wait for the ice cream. I will continue updating this in san fransico
Aug 6th, 2012- As this build stands today it is the most popular tryndamere guide out there. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND LOVE GUYS <3.
Dec. 4th 2012- With the season 3 updates this guide is probably going to get messy so bear with me as I revamp the build with the new boot enchantments, new mastery tree reasonings, new summoner spell descriptions, jungle route/ strategy and even more. Also if you would like to see an AP tryndamere build let me know in the comments. Expect these updates within a week to a maximum of 2 weeks.
Dec. 25th 2012- Updates coming out slower than I expected with all my stuff that I need to do but rest assured they are half done.
Feb. 4th 2013- Wow this updating is a pain in the ***....... Anyways I'm going to try to get as much done as possible in the next few weeks so, I know i've said this before but updates on the way hang on guys!
Feb. 18th 2013- Got new computer, finally. Much better than the old one.....
Pros / Cons

Pros:
-
Tryndamere's
Spinning Slash can be used as an excellent tool to catch up to enemies or run away from enemies
-
Bloodlust can help
Tryndamere be dominent in early game laning with it's healing potential and damage increase
-
Mocking Shout is a very strong slow that can be used for many purposes: to catch up to enemies, to help a teammate get away from an enemy and since it also reduces attack damage it can also be used for dueling enemy champions
-
Tryndamere is a literal tank, he can deal high damage catch up to people very easily and run away just as easily.
-
Tryndamere's ultimate
Undying Rage encourages extremely agressive play with very little consequence, you an use it to back out of a 3v1 gank, provide yourself with a kill or if you need to gain fury for a farming or critical chance boost
Cons:
-There is always at least one person whining about op
Tryndamere
-
Tryndamere is incredibly vunerable to croud control spells and abilities
-
Tryndamere is also vulnerable to burst damage.

Alternative Jungling Runes

Boots Selection

|
These boots I usually buy for the cheap attack speed and greater mobility, and when i'm having no cc troubles in lane and all ready the upper hand in damage.
|
|
These boots are extremely expensive but pay off extremely well. Not only do they give
|
|
These boots are great against top lanes like
|
|
Could be useful for ultimate cooldown reduction but I would usually not get these boots.
|
|
Useful for jungle tryndamere when you want to get to and from camps faster without losing fury and provides extremely effective ganks when coming in from the jungle.

Summoner Spells

Here in this section I will explain the Summoner Spells I choose for
Tryndamere and why I do. I will also explain all the other Summoner Spells and why or why not to use them with
Tryndamere.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just......... don't.
|
|
We don't even have mana and you'll be soloing lanes. A waste of a summoner spell
|
|
Could be useful late game but it's not worth 50 seconds to take this spell. I'd just leave it alone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I really don't play dominion very much but from what i've seen and heard it is a viable summoner spell for turret diving. Up to you.
|
|
This spell has the potential to do great things for
|
Recommended Build for Solo Top
|
I take these boots because they help you trade hits and farm minions more effectively. They provide alot of cheap attack speed in lane and are good for early and late game.
|
|
I get this enchantment early because it works wonders with tryndamere and his slows/gapclosers. It makes it harder for those poke and run champs to get away so easily.
|
|
I get wriggles for increased sustainability in lane and a damage boost early on, it can be sold later for a bloodthirster or other items.
|
|
I get this before
|
|
This is my first choice after zeal because it is your main damage dealing tool in your build and the harder you hit before they can build armor the better.
|
|
I finish phantom dancer after
|
|
I use this for some lifesteal and attack damage, it gives you more sustainability in fights and allows you to heal alot of health without going back or wasting all your fury.
|
|
This is a great item to round off your build, it provides nice armor and magic resist and a second life after your 5 seconds of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA from your ult. Amazing synergy with
|
Recommended Build for Jungling
I choose to take boots of speed along with three health potions because it gives you ganking power and mobility in the jungle so you don't lose your fury between jungle camps. It overall makes you a more effective jungler in general.berserker's grieves I choose to build these next because they help with fury gain, jungle clear time and overall increases your effectiveness in the jungle and in ganks.
I take this when i'm in the jungle because it gives you a nice critical chance boost and a little extra gold you can walk around with. It will pay for itself by the time you sell it.
I pick this up because of the sustainability it gives you for a great cost plus a great passive that helps with jungling. It's essentially some cheap lifesteal for your early game needs.
This item is next for critical strike chance, movement speed and attack speed. It helps you greatly in fights, with mobility and generally makes you more effective in game and is exactly what Situational Items
I always pick this up if an ap based champion is dominating the game. It synergises well with your
Bloodlust and
Undying Rage and gives you a nice bit of magic resist.
I usually pick this up if the enemy is building
Frozen Heart as it counters the armor element and the attack speed reduction element.
I pick this up if i'm up against a team with a lot of attack damage because it gives 100 armour and allows you to return 30% of the damage they do to you back to them in magic damage.
I take frozen mallet if I feel people are getting away from me too easily or that I need the extra health I usually pick this up. Also an OK item to pick up if your losing a lane.
I get this if i'm losing a lane to an enemy because it helps you keep up in gold with them and plus it gives you a nice critical chance boost.
I pick this up when they have a lot of CC on the enemy team or i'm against an ap lane like
Kennen.
I pick these boots up when i'm up against a heavy ad bruiser like
Xin Zhao or
Fiora. They can turn the tides of an entire lane if played right.
These are helpful when jungling
Tryndamere but in lane i would definately not pick these.
I pick these up when my team needs a tank or a tanky dps champion on our team. Always coupled with
Atma's Impaler.
I pick this up when trying to go tanky and it's always coupled with
Warmog's Armor
Great synergy with
Tryndamere in general really. The healing bonus helps his
Bloodlust and the cooldown reduction helps
Undying Rage and all his other abilities too coupled with a nice bit of health. This is a nice item to get if going tankier or if you feel you need the cdr.
I get this sometimes in normals and rarely in ranked because of the fact that it's a great item for snowballing however it makes you a massive target for the enemy team just because of the stacks. It's a gamble, get it if you feel you can snowball effectively.
Nice boost to tryndamere's overall stats and gives some nice cdr for his abilities. Pick it up if you like it but I usually leave it.
Pick this up if you're getting outsustained in lane or need some quick, cheap life steal.
You could take this as more of a tank
Tryndamere but as a damage
Tryndamere I wouldn't usually recommend it over
The Bloodthirster.

Ganking

With
Tryndamere I usually gank at level 6 once I have my ultimate up just in case I need to dive turrets or I get counter ganked. When you gank you should lead in with
Spinning Slash then pop
Mocking Shout as they try to run away from you. Now continue hitting them until they flee to their turret. Now you have two options: Either dive if you think you can kill them OR push the minions up to the turret and then kill them from there. I usually just chase on in after them because if you wait to push the minions they could go back or call for reinforcements. Now only dive them if they are at less than half of their hp and is killable in 3-4 hits. If not do not gank.
Which Buffs To Take

Now as
Tryndamere you are going to be able to kill jungle monsters easily. The important thing is to know which buffs you need and which ones you could give away.
Now Red Buff is extremely important for
Tryndamere in long chases or to kill a high movement speed person. I would highly recommend asking for this from your jungler because the dot and slow can provide a huge advantage in lane.
Blue Buff is good on
Tryndamere too because it reduces your ultimate cooldown by almost 15 seconds and allows you to
Spinning Slash more often to get away or chase. BUT if you have a good ap carry you should definatly give it to them.
Solo Top Tryndamere

Solo lane
Tryndamere is extremely strong, here's why. If
Tryndamere gets his ult faster than other champions do that's a huge leg up for him because it means he can gank earlier and dive earlier while the other champions aren't as strong. Also as you know our early game damage is not very strong but our mid to late game damage is extremely strong the faster you can get to late game the better. Also this ensures
Tryndamere strong early game farm which can make getting
Infinity Edge alot easier. I would suggest getting your jungler to gank you lane when you are lvl 6 to get you started on kills if you're not started already then push the turret in your solo lane then go gank lanes with your jungler till you're fed beyond the enemy's worst fears. The only problem is there are some very unfavorable matchups against
Tryndamere. This next section will highlight your solo top opponents and how to beat them.
When to Solo Baron

Fed or not there comes a point in every game where Tryndamere can solo baron. This section will tell you when to do that fed or not fed. Ideally you should solo baron when you have a Bloodthirster fully farmed at least. This ensures 25 percent lifesteal against baron which should be enough to maintain your health while soloing him. While you are soloing it is wise to have oricle's elixer to check the premesis for any wards that might get you killed and your baron stolen. When fed properly soloing baron should occur at about the 25-35 minute mark. When not fed you should be able to solo around 40-50 minutes. These times are only approximate so don't solo baron with out at least 25 percent lifesteal and the first half of your build.
Solo Top Tryndamere vs. Others

Akali: An extremely easy solo top up until level 6. Then she starts to hurt. Just don't tower dive her if her shroud is up and you'll be fine. Also when you're ganked with her it's IMPOSSIBLE to get away because of her ultimate so be careful for ganks and make sure to get wards on your first trip back.
Alistar. A CC nightmare. The
Headbutt, pulverise combo can decimate you without letting you hit back and is deadly in ganks. To counter after he pulls his combo on you spin at him and crit him. His damage is very limited without that combo and you can trade very well. If he has no mana you can do a lot of damage with very little damage returned.
Cho'Gath: An extremely annoying top lane if played right. Cho has amazing sustain and can combo his abilities giving you very little chance to hit back. His ultimate
Feast can counter your ultimate hard because when you come out of it you bloodlust and he ults. YOU'RE SCREWED. Play very cautiously around him, once he's wasted his
Rupture go in and try to do some decent damage to him.
Dr. Mundo: He is one of THE MOST ANNOYING people to top against. His infinite cleavers can just eat away at your health so do not let him harass you. A strategy you can use with him is once he's tossed his cleaver and missed you can spin into him and crit the **** out of him until he has to run away. You shouldn't be able to get too many kills in this lane but you should never be killed.
Fiora: SUCH AN ANNOYING TOP LANE!!!!! There is no strategy against her other than to try to out farm her. One thing to remember is she can only do decent dmg to you if she has her burst of speed up. So run up to her and she'll
Lunge to you pretend to run and she'll blow her
Burst of Speed while trying to lunge on to you. Now you can spin at her and do some nice damage. This strategy is only recommended for the experienced tryndameres. DO NOT do this if you are extremely weak or think you could die. Just try to out farm her in lane and return with many items to kick her *** later on. In a 1v1 fight your ult gives you a nice advantage but can be easily countered by her ult. IF SHE ULTS YOU run back to your turret if you have your ult on and
Bloodlust do not fight you will die.
Darius: Everyone whines he's so op but he's not, NOT AT ALL. the only thing to watch for is his ult which is easily countered by your ult. Most darius will just ult right when you ult because they panic and don't know what to do. Plus tryndamere has MEGA sustain and darius has absolutely no sustain. Darius has nice harass with
Decimate and can stop you from leaving easily with
Crippling Strike and his grab. The one big deal with this is that tryndamere can deal out more damage than a darius and then heal it all back. If there is a darius on the other team choose tryndamere because you will win your lane.
Galio: Might be an issue for a solo top like kennen but he's a real pushover for a tryndamere. No help is needed here.
Garen: Garen will make your lane living hell. If he builds tank he can still do decent damage just with his abilities. If he does build ad you could potentially out damage him but his
Decisive Strike does massive damage and applies silence so you can't heal or spin away. The worst thing is his ultimate judgement which completely counters yours and will destroy you if you keep fighting him when it's done. Generally a well played tryndamere can beat garen simply because you can farm just as well and sustain better without going back to your tower and waiting 1 minute.
Heimerdinger: Can be irritating if you dont' know how to deal with him. What you do is push him away from his turrets. Do not fight him around his turrets unless you have a very significant advantage because you will lose. Other than that his rocket harass is useless because you can just heal it back and he has no sustain in lane whatsoever. Easy lane.
Irelia: Used to be a problem for tryndamere but after the nerf she is no longer an issue. Tryndamere just out damages her. She can't keep up with trynadmere's damage output. An extremely easy lane.
Jarvan IV: Never really seen him up top. I'll get back to this
Jax: Now jax used to be super irritating in lane before his change. Now he's the easiest person to beat in lane. The only thing to watch out for is the stun,
Leap Strike and
Empower combo. If you can avoid getting stunned you can easily out damage him.
Kayle: If
Kayle has mana she wins. The key is to waste all her mana while healing all her damage with your
Bloodlust and fury. Then when she has reasonably low mana attack, kill. Then she'll come back and repeat the process until you're strong enough to beat her WITH mana.
Lee Sin: Not usually a solo top but when he is he has very irritating harass and can easily take you down if not handled properly. After he does his
Resonating Strike plus leap back combo spin in use your
Mocking Shout and crit. Lee relies on abilities so you can fight him with just right clicks easily. Watch out for his
Cripple which can render you almost useless at max rank. A tough lane but you should be able to overcome it with careful moves and JUNGLE GANKS :D.
Malphite: First of all this is a horrible lane for
Tryndamere. If they pick a
Malphite DO NOT PICK
Tryndamere. If you get counterpicked however, you must play very carefully and cry to your jungler for ganks. Unless the
Malphite sucks, or you're pro, either one will do. He gets stronger by stacking armor which makes you weaker. Avoid this lane at all costs.
Maokai: Easy lane.
Master Yi: Another easy lane. If he pops
Meditate pop ignite on him and crit him to hell.
Mordekaiser: If played well can be a real pain. Morde can not sustain a long fight however so when he lands his abilities on you commit to hurting him and discouraging him from trying to poke you. He has little sustain and you have lots. Remember this when fighting him and you'll do just fine.
Nasus: More or less a quite easy lane other than his
Wither. This ability is a hard counter to you and is potent in ganks. To counter this you should wait for him to wither then run away. After it finishes dish out punishment and walk away like a boss. Merc treads recommended strongly for this lane.
Nautilus: A boatload of cc but no real damage. A pain in ganks but easy to kill. Don't overextend and this is an easy lane.
