How to win lane as Tryndamere against Gwen · 53.12% win rate over 674 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Level 1 favors you since Gwen has no CC or escape to stop you walking her down. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is skill-based around her first W Mist and Q poke timing. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as her Mist zoning offsets your emerging E threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tryndamere | At levels 4-5 your E all-in beats her whenever Hallowed Mist is on cooldown, favoring you. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | At level 6 R Undying Rage negates her Q-plus-R burst, so the spike is yours. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item your crit outpaces her early AP scaling and shreds her out of Mist. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With two-plus items your R and sustained autos still counter her scaling and win extended fights. |
Level 1 favors you — Gwen is melee-range and mana-light but has no CC or escape until her W, so walk her down and deny CS while she has nothing to zone you with.
