Early game I try to rush tiamat ASAP. I then get tier 1 boots before rushing immortal shieldbow and then phantom dancer for extra 1v1 prowess.

I finish my boots. I generally build merc tread for heavy ap/mr teams and then plated steelcaps for heavy armor teams. I very rarely build into beserker's greaves. Ionian boots of lucidity to help reduce cooldowns on your spells. High ability haste is great to help reduce cooldown on his e to help you escape easier.

Get the infinity edge for extra crit. I then finish my BORK and guardian angel for survivability. I then either sell my tiamat or I build it into titanic or ravenous hydra.

Future Updates
I plan to add a critamere build as well as a top build

Hi! I'm Crusading Angel. Welcome to another one of my Mobafire guides! This is my second ever build guide here. This guide will focus on playing Tryndamere as a very agressive jungler and split pusher at the same time. I've used this build for a decent bit on my two accounts which are in Silver and Gold. I can't vouch for this build/guide in higher elo, but I believe it works decently fine in lower ELO. Please continue reading below in order to get a more in depth explanation.

Note: This guide will use the same format that I used in my first Mobafire guide. I like keeping things uniform. Hence I will use the same format and BBC codes to write this guide. I will also try to update this guide on a consistent basis (based off of feedback and in-game updates).

Pros:
+ High Damage
+ Great at splitpushing
+ Amazing 1v1
+ Easy to learn
+ Does not use mana

Tryndamere is very good at fighting champions 1v1. Hence the reason why I like to play him as a split-push jungle. The fact that his e has such a low cooldown means that that can be used as both an engage as well as an escape. Pair that with your ultimate and it can often be very easy to go in with your e, finish the champion off (and ult etc.), and go out with that e. For that reason, I like to take ignite instead of flash when jungling to make him even more dangerous.

Cons:
- Little crowd control (cc), only has a slow
- Timing your ultimate can be difficult
- Susceptible to teams with a lot of cc
- All or nothing sort of champion

Tryndamere's biggest weakness is probably cc. Tryndamere is a champion that deals damage mostly through melee basic attacks. This means that Tryndamere has to get up close and in that opposing champion's face. This can be difficult if opposing champions can just lock him down or stun him in order to get away. At the same time, it can be somewhat hard to time your ultimate. His ultimate is put to best use when Tryndamere is at low health. I often try to time the ult at around 10-25% health for maximum damage output. However, sometimes that leads me to mistime everything and end up dying instead of ulting. This can lead to a lot of loss damage and can even cost you the game!

Precision

Lethal Tempo

It will help speed up your autoattacks.

Triumph

Your ultimate is your bread and better. Going face first into an enemy means you'll generally come out with low health. Using this rune will help ensure you come out alive if you get some kills.

Legend: Alacrity

This is build focuses somewhat on attack speed. Use this rune to help add some more attack speed to help you split push and take turrets. You may want to switch to Legend: Tenacity if the other team has a lot of cc.

Cut Down

This rune will be of best use to you. You are generally going to be low health a lot. Hence this rune will be of best use to you.

Sorcery

Nimbus Cloak

This will help you move quicker so that you can chase and damage your enemies.

Transcendence

This rune will help reduce the cooldown on your skills. It specifically helps to decreae the cooldown on your Spinning Slash which will help you do more damage/chase/or escape.

Other Viable Runes

Sorcery

Gathering Storm

Again another pretty common rune taken on Tryndamere. This rune is naturally more helpful for you during the late game.

Precision

Legend: Tenacity

This rune will be good in situations where the enemy team has a lot of cc.

I will generally go Smite and Flash while jungling. I may take Flash and Ignite or Teleport when going top.

Smite-

A must for when you're jungling.

Ignite-

I take Ignite when I know I can play very agressive in lane. Otherwise I will take Teleport and just play safe/farm it up for late game.

Teleport-

A great spell to use if you want to get back to turret, to farm, or to help out a teammate etc. This is great for when you are playing Tryndamere top.

Flash-

This skill is great for chasing, running through walls, initiating, etc.

Ghost-

I can't say that I use this much, but it may be helpful for ganks, escapes, kiting, and chasing.

Exhaust-

Your challenging smite already helps to decrease damage when jungling. Your Mocking Shout already helps to decrease damage. There are better ones to use.

Barrier-

This build focuses on doing as much damage as possible not shielding yourself.

Clarity-

Tryndamere doesn't even use mana! Plus this spell is no longer available in SR.

Cleanse-

It's true that cc hurts Tryndamere, but honestly there are a lot better summoner spells out there.

Heal-

This is generally used for ADCs. You already have an ult to "trick people" and an e to escape and a q to heal. You don't need heal when your kit has the same functionality as this spell.
