Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ryze.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Level 1 favours Tryndamere — Ryze lacks his combo and you win the early walk-up trade. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | Level 2 favours Tryndamere — still no root online, so your Bloodlust crits out-trade his weak poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even skill — his Q-E-W combo comes online and can root-burst if you misstep. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tryndamere | Level 4-5 favours Tryndamere — Spinning Slash and Mocking Shout let you stick past his short root. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even skill — his Realm Warp doesn't help in lane but his combo can still trade if you're careless. |
| First item | Tryndamere | First item favours Tryndamere — crit lifesteal facetanks his poke and melts his squishy body. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Two-plus items favours Tryndamere — you outscale and split while dodging his single root threat. |
Levels 1-2 are yours — Ryze has no root combo yet and low base damage, so you walk up, trade with Bloodlust crits, and can threaten an early lead before he comes online.
