| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Your E gap-close and Fury crits out-trade him from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | At 2 W Mocking Shout's slow and AD-cut stop his kiting while Bloodlust out-sustains Meditate. |
| Level 3 | Tryndamere | Level 3 you crit-stack Fury faster than his Q trades can answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tryndamere | Levels 4-5 you can crit him down before his combo ever finishes. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | At 6 Undying Rage removes his burst window and flips any all-in he takes. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item you crit harder and reset off kills faster than he does. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Only deep into 2+ items do his true-damage on-hits pull the duel even - end it before then. |
You bully him from the first minion: E Spinning Slash closes the gap, Fury crits chunk him, W Mocking Shout cuts his AD so his return trades are pillow-fists, and Bloodlust out-heals anything Meditate gives back - every level 1-3 exchange is yours, so take them relentlessly and freeze when ahead.
