| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | You favour L1 — you out-trade Tahm's early autos before his stun setup comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even at L2 — Tahm's Q poke and grey-health sustain roughly balance the lane. |
| Level 3 | Tahm Kench | Tahm favours L3 — three Q stacks let him stun your all-in and win the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tahm Kench | Tahm favours 4-5 — his stun plus passive sustain and armour beat your commits while marked. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | You favour L6 — Undying Rage negates his burst and Bloodlust out-heals his grey-health. |
| First item | Tryndamere | You favour first item — crit out-DPSes his tankiness and W stops him kiting away. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | You favour 2+ items — you out-splitpush and out-duel Tahm; his edge is Devour and R roams. |
Level 1-2 you set the pace — Tahm's Q poke is annoying but his kit isn't online yet, so trade autos and keep him from getting comfortable. Just start watching your passive stack count.
