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 Shen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay on the same side as his blade

    Stay on the same side as his spirit blade: if it doesn't pass through you, Twilight Assault (Q) deals much less damage.

  2. Trade after his E

    Take a trade after his Shadow Dash (E): it's both his taunt and his only dash, on an 18 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. No autos into his Refuge

    Don't waste autos on targets inside Spirit's Refuge (W): they're blocked there. Use spells instead, or wait for the zone to end.

  4. Interrupt his ult

    If you have CC, save it for Stand United (R): Shen channels before teleporting, and interrupting him keeps him away from the teamfight.

  5. Push when he leaves

    When he leaves lane with Stand United (R), ping your team and push your wave: each ult costs him minions and tower health.
