Read from Master Yi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Tryndamere's E gap-close and Fury crits out-trade you from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | At 2 Mocking Shout (W) cuts your AD and slows you the second you turn away. |
| Level 3 | Tryndamere | Level 3 he crit-stacks Fury faster than your Q trade can answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tryndamere | Levels 4-5 he can crit you down before your combo finishes. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Level 6 Undying Rage removes your burst window and flips any all-in. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item he crits harder and resets off kills faster than you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Only deep into 2+ items do your true-damage on-hits pull the duel even. |
This is one of your worst lanes: Tryndamere out-trades you at every level 1-5. Spinning Slash (E) closes gaps on 12s, Mocking Shout (W) slices your AD and slows you only once your back is turned, and Bloodlust (Q) turns his Fury into a heal past your Meditate. Farm from max range and expect to give up plates rather than fight.
