Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Akshan.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even and skill-based before either champ has a real trade pattern. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is Akshan's as his Q poke and passive shield win the ranged trade. |
| Level 3 | Tryndamere | Level 3 is skill-dependent while you look to farm toward your gap-closer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tryndamere | Levels 4-5 are yours once E Spinning Slash closes his range into a losing melee trade. |
| Level 6 | Akshan | Level 6 is skill-based since Comeuppance hits harder the lower you are and your R is down. |
| First item | Tryndamere | First item is yours as crit lets you all-in and delete his squishy build after his E. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With 2+ items you win outright, killing him before Comeuppance finishes charging. |
Level 1 is skill-dependent and roughly even, but by level 2-3 Akshan's Q Avengerang poke plus his passive shield let him win ranged trades and back off before you can answer. Farm safely and avoid extended trades until you have your gap-closer.
