Tryndamere Introduction


This is an in-depth guide about Tryndamere. I hope people who never played Tryndamere can start right, and people who are Tryndamere's Veterans will learn something new.



Pros/Cons
Pros

+ Incredibly strong duelist
+ Incredibly strong splitpusher!
+ Can 1v2 1v3 1v4 1v5!
+ Scales amazingly with items!
+ Strong Early, Mid and Late!
+ Has no mana or energy!
+ Can instantly kill squishies!
+ Can always recover!
Tryndamere is a Melee AD Carry who is one of the strongest splitpusher in the game. He scales amazingly with items and His kit is really fun to use and impossible to completely shutdown. He has a long and frustrating learning curve , but after u learn every matchup and know how to handle different situations with him u can make amazing plays.
Cons

-Can be kited!
- Takes alot of time to master!
- Has annoying counters!
- Scared of CC!
- Has no female yandere skin!
Tryndamere has a lot of problems with any kid of CC, and is hard to play. It might be frustrating at the beginning but if ur stick with this champion u wont regret it. U need to make alot of dumb mistakes till u get a grip how to perfectly time your ults and when is the perfect time to use your Q.
Back to Top

Summoner Spells

Ghost
Increase your movement speed.
Ghost just offers too much utility , u can use it both defensively and offensively. U dont need flash u have ur E.

Ignite
Single target true damage DOT.
Ignite makes u have insane kill potential. Good against sustain champions like swain,aatrox ect. Cuz it reduces healing and regeneration by 50%..

Why shouldn't you take exhaust? // Stop comparing competitive league with SoloQ league. Ignite gives u more kill potential, and u need kills to win solo q games.

Why shouldn't you take other summoner spells? // Other summoner spells don't offer that much utility and kill potential. U should always take Ghost and Ignite. The key of winning SOLOQ is winning your lane!

Why shouldn't you take Barrier Ignite Since you have your E? // U can easily get kited without Ghost.

Masteries

VS AD

VS AP

Offensive
U take ignite and ghost , it benefits both of them so theres no reason why you shouldn't take it.More ghost speed , ignite plus 5 ad ap = PROFIT.
UMore attack speed. More attacks. More chances to crit = More damage.
Gives u more lane control, easier to last hit.
Ad per lvl too gud , Plus u need it to take Weapon Expertise.
Armor penetration is always great.
More early ad , good trading , easier to cs.
+10% for melee Champions ? U are melee , u are a champion, Trynd depends on hits TAKE THIS. BEST MASTERIES FOR TRYN.
A nice little attack speed steroid after a crit.
Even more armor penetration GREAT!.
Ultimate mastery like ultimate skill u need to take them if ur going deep inside this tree.

Defensive
little more hp is always nice
U need more armor to get hard. Take 3 points if u against ad top.
Little mr wont hurt. Take 3 points if you are against ap top.
30 hp lvl 1 is ALOT.




VS ]

Butcher - 4 bonus damage to minions and monsters, also if u take butcher u can put 1 more point in Fury +1%attack speed.
Havoc - Increase damage by 2.00%.

Both of these masteries are viable and it won't make a huge difference if you go either way. Butcher gives u more lane controll and 1 free point to put in fury. And havoc gives a little more damage. I don't find that damage high enough to put 3 points into havoc , i rather have more lane controll. The choise is up to you!


Sadly we don't have much innovation in masteries!
Back to Top

Runes


Then i started playing tryndamere for the first time i took Flat ad. After alot of games with him i realised they do u no good, Lifesteal on the other hand makes u a sustain monster that can out sustain most of the champions and u damage won't suffer at all.
Tryndamere scales with attack speed more than he does with and. So there's no point of taking flat ad , just take attack speed.
Usually i take more attack speed , cuz its just too good on Mr. Tryndamere. But sometimes u have to take some magic resist against champions like elise. But dont take full magic resist glyphs just take like 3 flats 2 pr lvls, and you'll be fine.
U only take armor seals, even if ur against ap top. Since they usually are range or even melee ap , they do use autoattacks plus u wont build defensive items so it will help.

So why attack speed over flat ad ? Simple flat ad just gives u more on attack damage , and crit damage. But attack speed gives u more chances to crit ,and tryndamere needs those crits.

Crit chance sucks. Don't take it , no point of relying on luck that much even if you play Tryn.
Crit damage rune sucks. Don't take them, ur early will be terrible and your opponent can just zone u out. U need to win ur lane if u want to succeed at soloQ.

Item Builds

START ITEMS
Manly start ,i usually go this start. Gives u 10 ad 2 pots, and u can rush vampiric easier. Amazing early damage , and kill potential. The only downside is no wards.
GO THIS EVERYGAME

I've seen people start likes this , I tried i dont really like it , but it gives u alot of sustain and movement speed, so u can easier escape from a gank and out sustain your opponent. U can also go 2 pots 1 wards.

sight ward U only go this if u really really want a ward, But ur tryndamere u can just 1v2 , or escape. Even if u get camped, ganked 100 times , you'll still beat everyone , so i don't recommend this start , its still viable tho .

CORE
U always go this core. It gives u so much, alot of movement speed so u can stick to the target , An active slow from cutlass. Crit chance, attack speed ,attack damage EVERYTHING.

MID GAME GOAL
his is ur Mid game goal. If u have this ur a beast already.
It gives u ,alot of damage active slow and movement speed steal, Crit chance, attack speed, LIGHTNING.

FINAL BUILD
Late game final build except the 6th item.
U can 3 shot squishies now. U have everything u need. Alot of attack speed, Alot of Crit chance, active slow/movement speed steal, alot of movement speed. The 6th item is only the cherry on the cake.

6TH ITEM
U get another slow but u usually don't need it. It gives you a little more hp and ad . But its usually not worth it.

Good to take down tower then split pushing , gives u cdr , attack damage ,crit change, faster tower taking. So if u like the item u can buy it its okay as 6th item.

Its good if enemy team has alot of magic damage. Gives u alot of ad , and the passive is great cuz u like being at 1 hp.

This item isin't the best, tho its fun. I wouldin't recomend it. But if u wanna u can buy it.

Only buy this if enemy team has a long cc like fear.

I usually go this as a 6th item Gives u tenacity attack damage and attack speed CDR. I RECOMEND THIS

START ITEM HELP:

VS
Dorans gives 80 health 10 damage 5 lifesteal on hit.
Longsword 10 damage = 2 pots

1 pot restores 150 hp.
To restore 150 hp with dorans blade u would need to hit a target minion or champion 30 times. During that u would be harassed, So in theory its never forth starting dorans blade over longsword 2 pots. U have no room for bad trades, and if ur all in with dorans fails u get denied. Earlier vamp scep earlier cutlass = can't be kited that easily.


VS
Long sword - 10AD ---> Fast vamp scep +2pots
Boots - 25mvSpeed --->Faster mvSpeed +4pots
Long sword will always be better due to ability to get a faster vamp scep. I doubt u will need 4 pots in early laning, if u use 4 pots u will waste more gold. Rather just buy Vamp scep and sustain threw lifesteal. Minimize the gold wasting.


CORE:
VS
PD gives +50attack speed +30crit chance +5mvSPEED COSTS - 2800gold

Statikk shiv +40attack speed +20crit chance +6mvSPEED +damage from passive COSTS -2500gold

Statikk shiv pros :
PROS:

1.Cheaper when PD
2.More mvSPEED when PD
3.Amazing passive that CAN CRIT, also this passive is great if the enemy laner stacks armor cuz the items passive does magic damage.

Phantom dancers pros:
PROS:

1.Gives more Attack and Crit chance when Statikk shiv.
2.Ignores unit collision passive

WHAT TO BUY ? Buy statikk shiv, its cheaper and better on Tryndamere. The passive does alot of damage. The passive looks kewl.

Buying order

Skills

TRYNDAMERE



Battle Fury: Tryndamere receives 0.35% critical strike chance per fury. Tryndamere gains fury by atacking creatures or champions. Attacking structures dosen't give u fury, but it stops it from fading. With max fury bar u get 35% Crit chance.
Spoiler: Click to view



Bloodlust: Passive: Permanently grants attack damage. Additionally, it grants bonus attack damage per 1% of health he is missing.
Active: Tryndamere consumes all of his current fury, restoring health equal to a base amount plus extra health per fury consumed.
Spoiler: Click to view

Tips and Tricks
  • Bloodlust can be activated with no fury, it will still heal u , but only the base amount of health.



Mocking Shout:
Decreases surrounding enemy champions attack damage, and enemies with their backs turned also have their movement speed reduced for 4 seconds.
Spoiler: Click to view

Tips and Tricks
  • Since mocking shout can only be used when there is a champion in range.U can take advantage of this by walking near the bush and looking at the ability if u can cast the ability that means someone is in the bush.


Spinning Slash:
Tryndamere spins through his enemies, dealing physical damage to enemies in his path. The cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds whenever Tryndamere critically strikes.
Spoiler: Click to view

Tips and Tricks
  • Any hard cc will stop this ability, so be careful.
  • This ability will pop spellshield , so usually is better to pop spellshield with this ability , and use mocking shout after.


Undying Rage:
Tryndamere instantly receives fury and becomes immune to death for 5 seconds during which his health cannot go below 1 health.
Spoiler: Click to view

Tips and Tricks
  • Tryndamere can always use this ability if its on cooldown, it has no cast time and no form of CC can stop him from using it.

Skill Order

Why take E first ?
Well usually there is not a huge amount of time till u get lvl 2, and u don't need that much sustain lvl 1. So its better to take a gap closer utility move.

Why max Q first ?
Q is one of the reasons why Tryndamere is so strong , it gives u free AD and sustain. Other abilities just don't offer that much. So u max Q.

Why max E second ?
Since ur a melee champion u need to get to your target somehow. E is that somehow , its a low cooldown +damage gap closer. Leveling it gives u more damage and shorter cooldown. Thats why u max it second.

Why max w last?
Well u need to max something last. I agree its an amazing ability, but other abilities are more important to Tryndamere. U can max W second against opponents like zed to ruin his combo. But i suggest maxing it last.

Early Game

Early game in top lane is considered to be from level 1 to level 6.

U have two choices early game:
1.Pushing

2.Freezing/Let it natural pushing towards you or towards him.


When should u push?
Against a weak jungler who usually does not gank early.

If u know u can win 2 v 2 , and your jungler is on board of counter ganking.

U want to push 3 lanes and go back for a fast Vamp Scepter.

U want to get level 2 faster and zone him from minions.


When should u want to freeze or let it natural push ?
If ur scared of enemy jungler ganking you.

If he starts red pot.

When u want to zone your opponent from creeps.


Here are some tips what u should do early game:
Only trade when u have more when 65% fury bar.

If enemy champion overextended with low hp , don't be afraid of all ining him.

Try making aggressive plays, they will help u to understand how to handle different situations.

Mid Game

Mid Game in top lane is considered to be from level 6 to level 14.

3 Situations could have happened to you in early game that will effect you now.
    You won it , got a kill on your laner or outfarm him by more when 20minions.
    U are equal, u both are 0-0 or 1-1. Both have around the same amount of Minion last hits.
    U lost, U died to him once or multiple times. and ur losing in minions.


Here are some tips if you are winning your lane:
    Push ur lane or proxy, This will make you able to harass your opponent under his tower ,and make the enemy team to react to your overagresion thus giving your team free objectives.
    Steal enemy jungle camps and buffs. Buffs respawn every 5 minutes.

Here are some tips if you are equal in lane:
    After reaching level 6 u get a huge spike in lane dominance use that to your advantage.
    Try pushing your lane or proxy, to make the enemy team react.
    Try roaming if you are against opponent like malphite. !Push ur lane before roaming!

Here are some tips if you are behind:
    Know just how much damage you can do to your opponent laner and he can do to you. Try trading a bit, most likely you scale with items better.
    Try focusing on farming, try different things like pushing and freezing. See what works in that situation.
    Don't leave your lane to group, if he roams u will get his tower and creeps.

Late Game

Late Game in top lane is considered to be from level 14 to level 18.

Hopefully u have atleast Infinity edge, Statikk shiv, Last whisper/Botrk, Berserker's Greaves.

If u have those items u should be able to 1v1 most of the enemy team. Thus giving u even more splitpushing power. ( Don't try fighting 1v1 champions like vayne late game)

Usually late game its better to reposition yourself to the bottom lane. This will make it easier for your team to control the baron area and pressure mid lane.

Here are some tips to close Long late games:
    Buy wards/oracles. Vision is important in all stages of the game. But late game in soloq is just freewin if you have superior vision. 1 person gets caught u can get baron or other objectives.
    Explain to your team, that your gonna split bot and they should pressure mid and control baron area. Communication is important.

Handy Mechanics

Attack move - When you click the button A ur league of legends cursor changes into a target. By clicking the left mouse button after pressing A will make your character either attack the picked target or run to the targeted location and attack the first target that appears in your attack range during the movement. It automatically targets the closest enemy.

Pros of Attack move -
1.If your chasing the enemy into the brush by clicking A and left mouse button it will start attacking immediately when you see the target.

2.If ur using attack move u won't get in a bad position by missclicking on a minion while last hitting with your left mouse button , Cuz the target cursor will still attack the minion.

Cons -

1.None, use attack move.

Moving after each auto attack - It might be obvious for most players , but moving after each autoattack is a key to position urself correctly. After ur AA does the damage , u can move and that wont take back the damage u did but it will cancel the end of AA animation . This will give u time to position better or dodge skillshots. U can also cancel tryndameres AA animation with his E, This is handy to do while harassing under the tower.

How to look if you will crit on the next AA on the targeted target - if u played league of legends u might have noticed that champions use different AA animation if they crit. Knowing that it shouldn't be a surprise that Tryndamere does that too. tho crit animations change depending on the skin. When Tryndamere crits his AA animation starts by him swinging his sword in the air. If he doesn't crit he swings his sword from the ground. U can cancel that animation before it does damage by pressing S or quickly moving to the side. If u saw his crit animation that means his next AA on that target will critical hit 100%. Changing targets remove critical hit. This is handy while harassing or diving ur opponent ,cuz before getting the turret agro u can check if ur next AA will crit .

How to harass under the tower - Tryndamere is one of the greatest champion to harass the enemy under the tower. U simply auto attack once or twice and e away. Combine this with Critical hit testing to maximize damage. Combine this with auto attack cancellation with E that way u will minimize the time under opponents tower.

Split Pushing Tips

The key of split pushing is making logical decisions and having a good map awareness. If u don't see 5 people on the minimap don't be the hero that pushes even if your not over extended. By making logical decisions i ment watch the enemy teams levels, items, skill orders ect. If u see 2 people coming to kill u and ur 2 levels on them and some items on them. Don't be afraid to take them both on. remember after Static and Ie u can 3 shots squishies, so if they are dumb enough to defend the towers alone dive them.

Split pushing is good in both scenarios. A. If your behind B. If your ahead. Tho it needs to have a different style in different situations.

A.If your behind - Well we all have hard games, Even tryndamere sometimes has rough one. Getting back at the game is an art. if u can't lane against ur top opponent for some reason he is too far ahead. try asking ur bot lane to switch. When u do switch the lanes , the best thing that can happen is your top lane doesn't follow u. Even if u are behind u usually can kill their adc if left alone 1v1 easily. they dont build damage = easy damage for u. If the enemy top lane fallows, ur pretty ****ed but u still got some farm when changing lanes. Go farm jungle minions near turrets. Look for the enemy teams dumb mistakes.

B.If your ahead - First of all gud ur wining ur lane im proud tho im still better when u. If your ahead chances are u know what to do next. Keep split pushing , steal enemy jungle creeps buffs. Make people come stop u 1v2. Kill them both. 1v3 Kill all 3 ect. Even if u won't kill them all u did your job. Tell ur team to go for objectives. deeper into the game u can go split push bot , so ur team can get baron control.

Teamfights

The ideal situation for u is to never teamfight , but sometimes u have no choice but to do that. here's some team fighting with tryn tips.

Theres 2 ways to team fight with Tryndamere and most top laners.

1.Dive
2.Peel

Diving- Diving means that ur going to dive the enemy team and try to get to the carries.
Diving tips :
Before a teamfight try standing out of your opponents sight. After the enemy tanks and bruisers dive ghost and go for the ADC. If your lucky enough to get to the adc and 3 shot him, go to APC. After killing the carries destroy what's left.
Try using your W on as many opponents as possible.
Don't use ur E to get to the adc , he can just flash and that will be awkward just run to him cutlass/botrk him . If he flashes or uses a dash ect. use ur E.

Peeling - Trying to help ur adc to survive the teamfight and don't let the enemy team to zone him completely. Tho Tryndamere is awful at peeling. But sometimes u need to do dumb stuff so here are some tips.
Use ur W on the bruisers and tanks try to get the carries to if possible.
Kill the targets ur adc is focusing
Use Botrk on the enemy who is trying to get to your carry, ruin his movement speed.

Solo Q tips/tips

I think i can give some solo q tips, Cuz i had and have multiple accounts in diamond.
These tips are mainly for tryndamere, but u can adapt them to every champion.



The biggest tip is to play selfish, I usually don't group with tryndamere, i usually take the kills even if i shouldn't Ks as people call them , i know i can carry the game if i get them .


A big tip too is , don't get into arguments in solo q, Just ignore people. I get firstbloodet in 70% of my games, and i get flamed lvl 1 because of that. But ur tryndamere. U can always come back. After all i have like 73% of tryn win ratio. so i must be doing something right. if people complain that u dont group , or u got killed just ignore them.

Another tip is . Always do play , always play aggressively . U wont win solo q by playing passively . Even if u die , u still get more knowledge from trying , then from being afk farming.

Never give up in solo q. People do so many dumb mistake , the moment u lose is when u think in your mind u cant win that game.

If u cant carry the game u usually deserve that elo, So just try looking at your mistakes not at other people.

Also just have fun , enjoy solo q. If u dont enjoy it , don't play just to gain elo. U wont win being stressed.



TIPS:
Always abuse your opponent laner cooldowns. After a while u will memorize the cooldowns of champions automatically.This will help u understand when to trade, and when to all in. So it will be easier to lane.

Know how much damage teh champion ur laning against can do. That will help u time your ult well.

How to improve?

Every person wants to improve, but most people don't understand how. Here are some tips on improving

1.Keep track of the enemy laner summoners, this will give u more oporunities to make a play.

2.Keep track of the enemy laner item builds, in league of legends and most competitive games u win by taking advantages of your opponent mistakes. So think about this situation, u are laning against an elise u both walk into the lane and she has a fairy charm pots and a ward, u have a longsword. That means u can win 1v1 since u have a fighting item, and she has a sustain mana item. If u see her going for a deep ward in river , just go kill her with some fury u can't lose. U need to take advantages like this this when u see them. Don't go full rambo on her without fury tho, u need the crit chance. And don't forget that minions hurt.

3.Don't be afraid of making a play. If u think that u can kill your opponent , but you are too afraid of dying GO FOR IT. Even if u will die , u will understand the situation better next time. After a while of fails u will gain the ability , of knowing when u can make a play.

4.Keep track of the enemy laner xp difference, If u know u will hit lvl 2 first. Go on him after hitting lvl 2. Remember that having a level on your opponent is a big advantage!

5.Keep track of the enemy jungler, his level , items. This will help u understand if u are able to take the jungler and the laner both at the same time. This will help u know whats better to run or to stay and fight.
