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 Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
