Read from Illaoi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Tryndamere's Fury crits and Bloodlust sustain beat your L1 pokes outright. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At L2 his crit ramp and Q-heal keep winning short trades. |
| Level 3 | Tryndamere | At L3 Spinning Slash dodges your E and his sustain out-trades you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 flatten out — a landed E-into-W can even a trade before his R. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Undying Rage hard-counters your R all-in, handing him level 6. |
| First item | Tryndamere | With crit items he out-DPSes and can dive you under tower. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Late game he sidesteps your tentacle field and one-shots, staying ahead. |
Tryndamere bullies the L1-2 window: his crits and Bloodlust (Q) sustain shrug off your pokes, and any E you throw can be walked out of or Slashed away. Farm safe and don't feed his Fury.
