Introduction

I don't promise my guide to work for everyone. My guide won't be well written or extremely pretty. Please, bare with me, it's my first guide. I've put many hours into it so I would appreciate it if you didn't just auto down vote.
If at any point you don't like my guide, there is something called the back button, use it.
Without further ado, lets get started.

Tryndamere, His Pros and Cons
PROS
|
SPACE |
CONS
|








Most of my masteries are pretty normal for an ad champion. while some of my points are questionably places I like it this way, it works quite well
The debatable Parts:




Greater Mark of Desolation Greater Quintessence of Desolation Why armor pen? Why not damage or something else? The answer is simple. For AD champions, if you want to do the most damage get armor pen. This is time tested and pretty much a fact. |
SPACE |
![]() This rune will make you crit even harder! Trust me, few things are more gratifying then getting a crit (early or late game) and watching their life disappear. It's fun. |
SPACE |
![]() Honestly, there is probably something better to get its up to you. This rune is a personal preference. It allows my Invulnerability /Heal /Slow /Skill Flash to come off cool down faster. Honestly there aren't that many good glyphs for AD champs, I feel that this one is among the best |

How To Build Tryndamere
Items,

Of course, this is NOT THE ONLY way to build

He is **** without his items.
Your item build is the difference between failure and success.
In this section I will explain why I get the items that I do.
I would also like to apologize in advance for this being a pretty long section, but its necessary if you want my justifications.
Lets get started:
Brawler's Gloves and two
Health Potions
why, do you ask? simple. early game crits are godly withGreater Seal of Critical Damage and
Lethality.this allows you to farm fury and minions better as well as hit the enemy for A LOT.
TheHealth Potion are in case you are harassed and you need more health while you back off.
Avarice Blade
Oh how I love thee. Having a bad farm? Trick question, it doesn't matter! Get it either way because it give you the money you need for well... everything. so much gold... In the end, I prefer to sell it but it can be built into aYoumuu's Ghostblade as well
Berserker's Greaves
Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. these ones also give you attack speed, better farm, better damage. Oh and movement speed lets not forget about that.
Vampiric Scepter
Sustainability. 'nuff said.
Phantom Dancer
Another great item. For how much it costs it increases your DPS by a freaking nice amount. more crits, better attack speed. whats not to love? as if this wasn't enough, movement speed as an added bonus, and you have Phantom Dancers.
Infinity Edge
A MUST GET!Tryndamere's favorite Item. Epic amounts of damage!! that sums up
Infinity Edge. If you know what
Infinity Edge does, then skip the rest of this. Need more detail? Fine, B.F. Sword will be the first item you build in this thing, and it provides you with 45 AD, nice right? It gets better.
Cloak of Agility will be the second piece to the puzzle, more crit is always ftw. Finally, we come to the
Infinity Edge passive, this will make your crits hit 50% harder. Let me say it again, 50% Harder. what more could
Tryndamere ask for?
- A second
Vampiric Scepter
Moar sustainability pl0x. But seriously, when you crit you heal yourself for 150-200 with these babies. by now I think you noticed how fast you attack sooo... you do the math. this will hold you until theBloodthirster
Bloodthirster - Double the trouble.
Fully stacked these give you 50% lifesteal and 200 AD. Yes please. who doesn't want to heal for 300+ per crit? ahhh btw you have close to 100% crit with this build... you won't be going down any day soon.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! does the team have an enemyWarwickor
Fiddlesticks? Really any champ with ungodly amounts of heal. replace one
Bloodthirster with
Executioner's Calling an extremely underrated item.
The Sixth Item
A more observant reader would have noticed by now that I have 5 items in my build. where is the sixth?
well you found it! here are the different items to change out with and the scenarios to best utilize each.
Last Whisper - for the teams that stack a lot of armor!!!
finding that the enemy team is stacking armor because your teams AD champions are ripping them apart? namely you? this should help to counter that. while that pesky Thorn Mail will hurt you, this will help you kill them faster.
Youmuu's Ghostblade - one of the regulars
if you can remember to activate the active then get this item and don't bother with the rest of them. armor pen, ad, cooldown reduction and more crit. its really nice. and if you can remember to activate it, then it also gives attack speed and movement speed the only problem with this item is that some people (myself included) forget to activate it.
Tiamat - epic farming/pushing tool.
Tiamat is extremely underrated, just like
Executioner's Calling. it allows all attacks to splash for 50% of the original damage. With my build you crit for 1000-1200 (depending on armor) so lets think about this... half of 1200 is 600. thats right, you hit the people around the target for about 600 damage!
Black Cleaver - faster, harder, stronger.
LikeLast Whisper this item is best against a team that's stack armor. If the enemy has stacked armor to an ungodly level, then go for
Last Whisper but if the armor stacked is light then take
Black Cleaver in its stead.
Frozen Mallet - you cannot escape me
good survivability with more chasing capability. also keeps the enemy inside your team for longer amounts of time meaning they won't be getting away... alive that is, MUAHAHAHA!
Spirit Visage - heal me moar
I have personally never tried this item onTryndamere. someone should try this and send me what they think of it!
it would make sense that this item would be decent, slightly more health with cooldown reduction and healing increase. I'm not sure if this heal increase applies to lifesteal but if it does... woof.
How To Be a Beefy
Tryndamere.
Anyone looking to set up with this build might be saying "Gachirin, the masteries runes and skill sequence are the same! the only difference is the build!" this is true.
Why would I do something this heinous? simple, I feel that if you decide to go this route, it will be a situational thing. if you are totally dominating then just go for the regular godliness. But your team might be going down too fast. Then use build two and become tanky.
You will have to decide whether or not to go with this build before you get your phantom dancers. this is very important!
the differences are:



OMG I LEVELED!!!
Start off by putting one point into

Then place points in

At level 4 place one point into

As with all ultimates, place points in

My Book of Tips and Tricks
Alright, I admit I'm definitely not writing a book here.
These are the tips and tricks I have learned over my experiences playing our friend,

Farming -





my favorite use for this is durring late game. Is there a squishy farming a lane? jump over a wall and practically 3 shot them. Scares the **** out of them sometimes, its a pretty good laugh among other things.







One more thing on

This is possibly the best tip I can give you so its bolded and colored! USE COMMON SENSE!!!! Best way to play, I swear it.


I don't want this section to be just my picture! please send me your own and I will add it here.
I'd like to remind people that this is my first guide so sorry if there are Grammar issues/ spelling mistakes.
One last thing, I'd like to give a special thanks top jhoijhoi for her guide on how to make a guide. It has been a major help while writing this guide.
Its been fun, right?
