Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Mordekaiser.
This is Tryndamere's own plan; across 1,622 pooled games the lane is leaning Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — Morde is clunky pre-combo, but Darkness Rise punishes you for standing in it. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is his — Obliterate at 675 range plus Death's Grasp is a real trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays his — Indestructible banks your chip into a shield he heals off. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mordekaiser | Levels 4-5 flip to you — Spinning Slash on 12-8s beats a Morde with no dash at all. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Level 6 is yours: Undying Rage outlasts the realm and Bloodlust refills you as it drops. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item you keep it — surviving R on Undying Rage lets Bloodlust out-heal his aura. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Late you outscale him because outside his ult he can't catch a crit-lifesteal diver. |
Level 1 is even — Morde is clunky before his combo, so trade in short bursts and shove. Darkness Rise (P) needs three hits to arm, and every point of chip you deal banks into his Indestructible (W) shield.
