How to beat Tryndamere

Common role: Top

A crit auto-attacker who can't die for 5 seconds thanks to his ultimate.

What makes Tryndamere dangerous

Tryndamere builds Fury to crit constantly, heals with his W and E, and his ultimate (Undying Rage) makes him immortal for a few seconds — so you can't simply burst him. He's a split-pusher who spins through walls with his E to escape ganks.

How to play against Tryndamere

• 1Never all-in him at low health — his ultimate makes him immortal. Wait out the ~5 second window, then finish him after it ends.
• 2CC and slows beat him: he has to walk to you (his only dash is his E). Root, stun, or kite him and his damage never lands.
• 3Punish him early before he has Fury and lifesteal. He's a weak level-1-3 laner; trade when his E is on cooldown.
• 4As a split-pusher, don't chase him 1v1 — answer with your own map pressure and collapse with numbers when he's caught out.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No hard CC and only one dash for mobility.
• ✓Immortality ends — outlast his ultimate and he dies.
• ✓Kiteable by slows, roots and ranged damage.
• ✓Weak early before Fury and lifesteal ramp up.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Tryndamere's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Kampfrausch

  Tryndamere sammelt mit jedem Treffer, kritischen Treffer und Todesstoß weiteren Zorn an. Dieser erhöht passiv seine Chance auf kritische Treffer und kann mit „Blutdurst“ verbraucht werden.

• Q
  Blutdurst

  Der Nervenkitzel im Kampf dient Tryndamere als Ansporn, weshalb sich mit der Schwere seiner Verletzungen auch sein Angriffsschaden erhöht. Er kann „Blutdurst“ aktivieren, um seinen Zorn zu verbrauchen und sich zu heilen.

• W
  Spottruf

  Tryndamere brüllt eine Beleidigung, die den Angriffsschaden naher Champions verringert. Bei Gegnern, die mit dem Rücken zu Tryndamere stehen, bewirkt sie außerdem eine Lauftempoverringerung.

• E
  Wirbelnde Klinge

  Tryndamere wirbelt zu einer Zieleinheit und fügt dabei allen getroffenen Gegnern Schaden zu.

  Strong: a spin through walls to escape ganks and gap-close. Weak: his only mobility — after it he walks, so slows and CC pin him down.

• R
  Unbändige Wut

  Tryndameres Kampfeslust wird so heftig, dass er nicht mehr sterben kann, egal wie schwer er verwundet ist.

  Strong: Undying Rage makes him immortal for ~5 seconds — you can't burst him. Weak: it ends — outlast it, then finish him, and it does nothing vs CC.

Itemization

Tryndamere is an AD crit auto-attacker: armor and attack-speed slows (Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart) gut his damage, and Grievous Wounds cuts his lifesteal. A well-timed stun or Exhaust wastes his entire ultimate.
