Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Delaying the activation of Undying Rage is a very effective way to make an enemy champion over-commit to trying to kill you.
  • Bloodlust is an excellent way to heal Tryndamere. Try not to let it fade off before you activate it.
  • If the enemy is stacking Armor, try building items like Last Whisper or Youmuu's Ghostblade.

Playing against

  • Try harassing Tryndamere early so he can't kill minions and heal with Bloodlust.
  • Remember, Tryndamere can only slow you if you are facing away from him.
  • Most of Tryndamere's damage is physical. If he's getting too strong, consider buying a Thornmail.
