Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TryndamereTryndamere's level-1 Fury crit autos plus Spinning Slash shred a squishy single-target mage with no escape yet — concede the first wave and farm safe.
Level 2AuroraWith Twofold Hex's out-and-pull online you start a poke war his crit autos can't out-trade, and Spirit Abjuration heals back every bit of chip he lands.
Level 3AuroraQ plus The Weirding's slow-and-hop lets you space him completely — he can't close without eating poke, and his chase Fury-starves into nothing.
Levels 4-5AuroraYour Twofold Hex cooldown and Spirit Abjuration healing line up so you out-sustain his crit autos and own every trade in the 4-6 window.
Level 6AuroraBetween Worlds goes untargetable to him from outside the rift and W-resets on the takedown — he can't spin-kite what he can't hit.
First itemAuroraYour first AP item sharpens the Twofold Hex poke-and-burst — keep forcing trades while his crit build is still bare and your healing wins the exchange.
Two+ itemsTryndamereCrit-item Tryndamere face-tanks your full burst behind Undying Rage's 5s immortality, then spin-kites away and outscales you — late game flips to him.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 belongs to Tryndamere — his Fury-fueled crit autos and Spinning Slash gap-close blow up a squishy single-target mage with no point-blank escape yet, so don't step into spin range to last-hit before you have Q and E. Once you hit 2-3 with Twofold Hex (Q) and The Weirding's slow-and-hop (E), flip it: land the Q out-and-pull, then E back so his autos never connect. Spirit Abjuration heals you off every spell and attack that lands, so the poke war is one-sided — he burns Fury chasing and walks away with nothing.
