Tryndamere combos: execution and timing

With Tryndamere, start with Basic attack, then continue through Spinning Slash. Read the resource or charge indicator for Battle Fury before starting. Compare this sequence with and without the required preparation.

  2. Mocking ShoutW
  3. AA
  4. Spinning SlashE
  5. AA

With Tryndamere, start with Basic attack, then continue through Mocking Shout → Basic attack → Spinning Slash → Basic attack. Read the resource or charge indicator for Battle Fury before starting. Compare this sequence with and without the required preparation.

Game plan by role

Tryndamere · Top
Early game

Keep trades short until you understand the opponent’s main cooldown. Check the minion wave before chasing and preserve a route back to your tower.

Mid game

Decide between a side-lane push and joining the next objective. Push only as far as your vision and teammate positions allow.

Teamfights

Agree on your job before the fight: pressure a side, threaten a target or protect a carry. Save a key defensive tool when the enemy can turn on you.

06

Matchup preparation

Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.

07

Practice checklist

  1. Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
  2. Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
  3. After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
