Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Your E gap-close and Fury crits out-trade him from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | At 2 Mocking Shout's AD cut blunts his trades and Bloodlust out-sustains a 10s 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 outlasts his 85s Highlander 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: Spinning Slash closes the gap, Fury crits chunk him, and Mocking Shout cuts his AD so his return trades are pillow-fists. Meditate is a 10s channel you have no CC to break, so bring Grievous Wounds instead - every level 1-3 exchange is still yours, so take them relentlessly.
