Tryndamere Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Support

When Tryndamere Support gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Tryndamere wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Tryndamere's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Tryndamere hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Tryndamere can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Tryndamere can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Play to these strengths

Side-lane pressure pays: Tryndamere rates 97/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
Tryndamere heals a lot (percentile 90): extended fights and sieges favor Tryndamere.
Play around dragons, Grubs and Baron — Tryndamere rates 88/100 for objective control.
Tryndamere soaks damage well (percentile 75): stand between the enemy and your carries.
Tryndamere wins 11.1 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.

Playing Tryndamere

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 Tryndamere

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.
