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
  Vague de violence

  Tryndamere gagne de la Fureur à chaque attaque, coup critique et coup de grâce qu'il inflige. La Fureur augmente passivement ses chances de coup critique et elle peut être utilisée par sa compétence Soif de sang.

• Q
  Soif de sang

  Tryndamere s'épanouit lors des combats, ce qui accroît ses dégâts d'attaque au fur et à mesure qu'il subit des blessures. Il peut lancer Soif de sang pour consommer sa Fureur et se soigner.

• W
  Moquerie

  Tryndamere lance un hurlement, réduisant les dégâts d'attaque des champions proches. De plus, les ennemis ayant le dos tourné voient leur vitesse de déplacement être réduite.

• E
  Balafre

  Tryndamere lance un coup de taille vers une unité ciblée, infligeant des dégâts aux ennemis sur son chemin.

  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
  Rage inépuisable

  La soif de combattre de Tryndamere devient si puissante qu'il ne peut pas mourir, quelles que soient les blessures qu'il subit.

  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.
