Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jayce.
This is Tryndamere's own plan; across 1,910 pooled games the lane is leaning Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even; Jayce's poke isn't online and you can't yet close the gap. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays a skill test of dodging Shock Blast versus healing it off. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even as both of you jockey over his poke line and your engage timing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At level 4 Jayce pulls ahead once his Shock Blast + Gate poke is fully online. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Level 6 favours you: Jayce lacks a real ultimate, so your R all-in overwhelms his single knockback disengage. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item Jayce's Manamune/Eclipse poke chunks you before you can engage. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Late, your crit split beats a Jayce who must poke from range to matter. |
Levels 1-3 are a skill matchup: Jayce wants to poke with Ranged Q Shock Blast and you want to block it with minions and heal off the chip with Q Bloodlust, so the lane state depends on how cleanly each of you dodges.
