Playing as Tryndamere

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Manage your Fury

    Keep your Fury high before a trade: with Battle Fury (passive), it raises your critical strike chance. Spend it with Bloodlust (Q) when you need health.

  2. Mocking Shout before the trade

    Cast Mocking Shout (W) before a trade against a physical damage champion: it lowers their attack damage, and slows enemies who turn their back on you.

  3. Reset Spinning Slash with crits

    Count on Spinning Slash (E) to stick to your target or to escape: each critical strike lowers its cooldown, more so on a champion.

  4. Use your ult at the last moment

    Wait until you're close to death to cast Undying Rage (R): you can't die during the effect, and delaying it pushes the enemy to take risks to kill you.

  5. Split push far from your team

    Split push in a distant lane to draw several enemies: Undying Rage (R) helps you hold them off while your team takes an objective.

Playing against Aatrox

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid the edge of his blade

    Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.

  2. Get out of his chains fast

    Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.

  3. Trade after his blade

    Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.

  4. Short trades

    Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.

  5. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
