Try to play aggressive before she hits lvl 6. Go for E auto trades, and walk out while spamming Q. Akali outscales you EXTREMELY HARD, so earlygame snowball is required to have a playable game.

Introduction
Hello, my name is Rangerzx I've been playing League since Season 2.
I played mostly normal games until Season 6 in which I reached Challenger, and have been Challenger ever since in two seperate roles, Mid- and Toplane.
I'm known for always stomping my way through the ladder with a small amount of games and high winrate, while being very consistent in my gameplay.
In the past I was known for being the best
Jax,
Darius and
Tryndamere in the world, reaching Challenger on all three of these champions and coaching in the LEC for Team Vitality.
Nowadays Im focusing on fulltime content creation and private coaching-sessions, trying to teach my viewers the finesse of Tryndamere, toplane aswell as midlane and creating fun content on stream while conquering the ranked ladder on EUW.
Im also creator of the famous "Season 11/12 Tryndamere Guide by Rangerzx" and helped other creators create content all around the scene, so now that I've set the bar for your expectations lets get right into it.

Starter Items
Doran's Shield You can't go wrong with ![]() |
Doran's Blade After the buffs to Doran's Blade making it give 100HP and 10AD, it has become a very good starter item. The longer the game goes, the more ![]() ![]() |
Boots
Berserker's Greaves Berserker's Greaves. These boots give a big amount of Attack Speed that synergizes well with you being all about autoattacking, and your high Base AD and AD steroid from ![]() ![]() |
First Item
Kraken Slayer Kraken Slayer is simply the best DPS item for Tryndamere. It gives all the stats we want, while also having a high damage stacking effect from it's passive. Buy this item whenever you're in need of damage and are capable of consistently hitting the enemy champion(s). |
Stridebreaker A great item in games where you are playing vs a hard-to-catch enemy. ![]() |
Optional Items
Kraken Slayer Even though Kraken Slayer is a great First item, if you ended up purchasing Stridebreaker, you should still build this item later. |
Trinity Force![]() ![]() ![]() |
Stridebreaker![]() ![]() |
Phantom Dancer One of my favourite items. ![]() |
Hullbreaker![]() ![]() |
Serylda's Grudge As Tryndamere only deals Physical Damage, Armor Penetration becomes a necessity at some point during the game. ![]() ![]() |
Infinity Edge Sadly basically never the Mythic item to buy on Tryndamere with ![]() ![]() |
Mortal Reminder Good buy in games where you're in need of Armor Penetration and are playing vs a Healing based enemy, for example ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Zhonya's Hourglass Yes. ![]() ![]() |
Black Cleaver A rare but potentially good buy on ![]() |
Blade of the Ruined King![]() |
Mercurial Scimitar![]() ![]() ![]() |
Spear of Shojin![]() ![]() |

Gameplay (How to play)

As you are a Melee Carry, you are very dependant on items. Your build is expensive, so farming well is ESSENTIAL. Make sure to last hit minions well in lane and take jungle camps whenever theres no minions available, aiming for at LEAST 8 cs per minute.
Laning Phase
In the laning phase, you need to focus on farming well. Make sure to focus on last hitting minions, and taking jungle camps inbetween minion waves if any are available. Your items are expensive, making the constant income of gold extremely important for your success.
Another important thing in the laning phase is setting up all-ins. Even just the threat of all-inning the enemy is often enough to deny the enemy minions and experience.
This can be achieved with freezing the wave on your side of the lane, or stacking and pushing the wave for a dive. Examples of this can be found in the Playmaking & Ability Usage section.
Splitpushing & Teamfighting

Despite Tryndamere being great at splitpushing, this does not mean that it's always the correct play.
In the end League is a team game, and teamfighting is a big part of winning.
Depending on the enemy comp and game state, you need to make accurate decisions when it comes to this.
Things to look for when it comes to deciding your plan of action:
|
|
Flanking is extremely strong on ![]() Despite carries being the ideal target for you, sometimes accessing them is too hard. When you feel like this is the case, ![]() ![]() ![]() Selecting your targets well in teamfights is crucial as you are almost always on a timer due to being very squishy and only having 5 extra seconds of viable fighting with your ultimate ![]() Also hitting the frontline will cause the enemy carries to walk forward to hit you, which can help you quickly switch targets from the frontline to the enemy backline with your spin and summoner spells. |
DISCLAIMER: League is a very complex game, and the smallest variance can completely change the CORRECT approach, so even if several of the things listed above apply, it does not mean that going for that play is necessarily the right one. Keep paying attention to the outcome of your decisions in-game, and eventually your decision making will be godlike. |
Playmaking & Ability Usage
Early Game Playmaking
In earlygame, Tryndamere is capable of getting solokills with ease. Having the HIGHEST base AD in the game, alongside having an AD steroid from





Tip: Try to start your all-ins from your side of the lane, so you have more space to run the enemy down.
How to trade in lane:
Spinning Slash into Autoattack
Autoattack into
Spinning Slash
How to use
Mocking Shout
Landing the slow on your W is crucial. A way to use this ability correctly is to pay attention to the movement & attacks of the enemy. Right after the enemy casts an ability or attack you, they will start running away from you, making it easy to land the slow.
Spinning Slash into
Flash
You can extend your E range by flashing during your E animation, making the damage land where you land with your flash. You are also able to cast your autoattack instantly after. This is an excellent way to surprise the enemy with more range and a burst of damage at any stage of the game.
Undying Rage Usage:
Simply try to use your ultimate as late as possible. Even a slight difference in timing your ultimate can lead to one or even several extra autoattacks which can easily make a difference in fights. Pay attention to how much damage the enemy is dealing, but make sure that you do NOT use your ultimate too late as then you are simply going to get instakilled. Remember that you can ALWAYS use your ultimate, no matter what. CC does not apply to your ultimate usage!!!
Manipulating Critical Strike:
Critical Strike in League of Legends is not a static % chance. League uses a Pseudo-RNG system. What this means, is when you have a chance to Crit, but you DONT Crit, your NEXT autoattack has a HIGHER chance of Critting. This works the other way around, when you have a chance to Crit, and you DO Crit, your NEXT autoattack has a LOWER chance of Critting.This causes you to be able to use this to your advantage, simply casting autoattacks and 'stacking' your Critical Strike Chance, and then going for a VERY high chance Critical Strike to your target.
Me using this strategy against the LEC MVP Misfits Vetheo in Challenger-Elo.
Overall Tips to get better at the game
Do NOT autopilot.
Every click, every decision, every move needs to be thought about and needs to have a reason. Pay attention to the outcomes of your decisions in-game. If you made a bad play, think why it was bad and make sure you play the scenario differently next time. Often people disregard the GOOD plays and only focus on the Bad, but focusing on the good plays is just as important. Often lower skill players will simply disregard the good plays, even when they do them unintentionally. So when you make a good play, make sure to think why it was good so you can repeat the same in future games.
Do NOT be toxic.
Sometimes League is not fair. Sometimes your team is bad, sometimes you have an AFK, sometimes the enemy is smurfing. Theres a lot of frustrating things in the game, but in the end all we want is to win.
Losing your focus by worrying about things OUT OF YOUR CONTROL is pointless.
Only focus on yourself, and mute anyone that distracts you.
Play a LOT.
Playing the game is easily the best way to learn. Make sure to play a lot of games, but as mentioned before, don't autopilot. Think about the outcomes of your decisions, but playing the game a lot to gain experience and a lot of sample size is key for improving.
Always try to win.
Sometimes the game is hard. Sometimes you just want to give up and go next. But learning how to play the game from behind, or dealing with difficult factors is ESSENTIAL for improving.
So many games I have won over the years have been comebacks.
In the end, everyone makes mistakes and the enemy can easily throw their lead, so always try to focus on winning no matter what situation.
Play aggressively.
Learning your limits is everything, especially on Tryndamere. Make sure to fight a lot, and figure out your damage limits and the enemys limits. Once you figure out the overall strengths and powerspikes of all the champions in the game, playing is much easier as you can abuse your knowledge.
