Read from Jayce's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tryndamere.
This is Jayce's own plan; across 1,910 pooled games the lane is leaning Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Cannon Q out-ranges a Fury-starved Tryndamere with no real gap-close yet - land free gate-Q poke and last-hit from outside his reach. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Acceleration Gate is online, so the accelerated Shock Blast hits full range and damage while his crit chance is still low and he can't trade back. |
| Level 3 | Jayce | Both forms plus the Mercury Cannon Armor/MR shred on the first post-swap hit let you chunk him the instant he steps up - your hardest favor window before he scales. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | He gets Spinning Slash to close and Bloodlust to heal the poke off Fury; Mocking Shout only slows a turned back, so face him and it is just an AD cut. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Undying Rage lets him survive your full Cannon-into-Hammer combo at 1 HP and spin out, and your level-6 is a non-spike since Jayce's R is just a stance swap, not a kill button. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Eclipse/Manamune poke still threatens, but his first crit item and lifesteal start eating the chip - it's a knife-edge here. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Two items in he Spinning-Slashes onto your no-armor frame and Undying Rage negates your burst - he out-duels you in any extended fight. |
Levels 1-3 are yours and you have to cash them. Take Cannon Q at 1 and out-range a Fury-starved Tryndamere on every last-hit, then at 2-3 fire the full accelerated Shock Blast through Acceleration Gate and swap to Mercury Cannon so the first hit shreds his Armor and MR - chunk him hard every time he walks up to farm. His crit chance is still low and his Spinning Slash isn't worth respecting as a gap-close yet, so there is little he can do back. Push for plates and a health lead now; this chip is the whole reason the lane is even and not lost.
