Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick's Q healing and lifesteal win the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Warwick | At 2 his sustain keeps him ahead in every exchange. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 stays his as Q lifesteal out-heals your harass. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Levels 4 remain Warwick's on ramping lifesteal. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 5-6 your Undying Rage neutralizes his R, evening it out. |
| First item | Tryndamere | First crit item flips it — your DPS beats his Q lifesteal now. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With 2+ items your crit and split overwhelm his sustain. |
Warwick owns the first four levels. His Q heals him for a portion of the damage and his passive lifesteal spikes hard once you're low, so grinding autos into him just tops him off — avoid the extended trade and farm safely, giving up a little CS rather than a big chunk of HP.
