TopPatch 16.2.1
What They Do
A high-mobility melee carry who relies on RNG critical strikes and temporary immortality. He builds Fury via to gain Crit Chance, uses to stick to targets, and ignores death for 5 seconds using .
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| A red bar under his Health that fills as he attacks. | The fuller the bar, the higher his Crit Chance (up to 40%). Never take a long trade when this bar is full. | |
| A green 'plus' heal effect; he loses his red Fury bar. | He consumes his Fury to heal. He is weakest right after using this because he loses all his bonus Crit Chance from . | |
| A chicken icon appears over your head; Tryndamere shouts. | Reduces your AD. If your back is turned to him, you are also slowed. Always face him when he casts this to avoid the slow. | |
| A spinning dash through units. | His only mobility tool. It deals physical damage and the cooldown is reduced when he crits. If he misses this, he is vulnerable. | |
| He turns bright red and screams. | He literally cannot drop below 1 HP for 5 seconds. Do not waste your ignite or big damage spells while this is active. |
Respect
- !Level 1-2 Fury RNG→If he hits the wave and builds , he can crit you for 150+ damage twice in a row and win the lane instantly.
- !The 'Chicken' Slow→If you turn to run, slows you significantly, allowing him to gap-close with and Ghost to run you down.
- !Low HP Baiting→He gets bonus AD from the lower his health is. He is actually more dangerous at 10% HP than at 100% HP.
- !Tower Diving→With , he can tank 3-4 tower shots while killing you and then out safely.
Punish
- +He just used to heal→All-in him immediately. He has 0% bonus Crit Chance and is much less threatening without his bar.
- +is on cooldown→His dash has a ~12s cooldown early. If he uses it to farm or misses a trade, poke him for free as he has no way to reach you or escape.
- +Level 1-5 laning phase→He doesn't have yet. Bully him off the wave so he cannot stack , making his trades weak.
- +expires→Time the 5 seconds. As soon as the red glow fades, any damage (like Ignite or a single auto) will kill him before he can heal.
Laning Tips
- •Fight him at Level 1 before he touches a single minion; he has 0% Crit Chance and is weak.
- •Stand your ground and face him when he uses to avoid the massive slow.
- •Rush Plated Steelcaps; the 12% auto-attack damage reduction is the single best stat against him.
- •Bring Ignite. Use it when his has about 2 seconds left to reduce his post-ult heal.
- •If he has full Fury, do not engage. Wait for him to use to sustain or for the bar to decay.
- •Ward deep in the lane; a good Tryndamere will proxy your waves to force you under tower while he steals jungle camps.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠He is a split-push specialist. If you see him bot lane while Baron is up, he will take your inhib in seconds.
- ⚠Don't waste high-cooldown ultimates or executes (like Garen R) while his is active.
- ⚠Save hard CC (Stuns/Roots) specifically for when he presses to kite out the 5-second duration.
- ⚠Watch for the flank; he wants to onto your ADC and two-shot them with crits.
- ⚠Keep an eye on his Fury bar even in teamfights; a 0-fury Tryndamere entering a fight is much less scary.
