I'm really late on this but

1. No I no longer think so. There are better options than Bloodthirster now.
2. Phantom Dancer is a good item on Tryndamere, I just do not like to buy it because I feel that it is not good enough to replace any of the other items, unless you wanted to do a glass cannon Trynd.

Is it good to use both The Bloodfirster and Infinity Edge in the same Build?

Is it good to use Phantom Dancer?

It is useful. However I truly believe Flash is not mandatory, and for securing objectives, split pushing, and ganking, Teleport is a much more useful spell. But obviously you can't really go wrong taking Flash.

I'd also like to point out that of the top 3 Trynd builds on this site, only 1 lists Flash as a priority spell (and none of the ones for jungle Trynd do), instead they have Ghost (which some people like, I simply prefer Teleport).


Fair enough. The reason I picked Bloodthirster as a core item, and not BotRK is simply because it makes soloing Dragon much less risky mid game. Also, by the time you have finished BotRK as one of your core items (if you build it before IE), none of the tanks will have enough health to make either the passive, or active, nearly as beneficial as The Bloodthirster's base stats and passives. However nearly every game I finish with BotRK.

EDIT: Might actually put those Summoner Spell explanations in the guide now.

Flash is mandatory, there is no way to replace it and even if you're planning on it you should still consider it actually being the top pick.

I'd say Blade of the Ruined King > Bloodthirster. The benefits are just too good enabling you to improve your sticking power and the overall reached attack speed in case of buying it is huge.
