Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
This is Tryndamere's own plan; across 1,483 pooled games the lane is leaning Yorick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Level 1 is yours because Q-stacked autos punish him before any ghoul stacks or Maiden exist. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | Level 2 stays yours since your E all-in still lands before his summon economy comes online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even as ghoul stacks and Last Rites autos start turning trades into a numbers game. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even because his Maiden and W cage let his swarm out-trade you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 stays even since a fresh Eulogy Maiden makes a duel a numbers loss even through your R. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item you pull ahead: crit and lifesteal let you burst him faster than his ghouls whittle you. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With 2+ items you out-duel and out-splitpush him thanks to DPS, sustain, and mobility. |
Levels 1 and 2 are clearly yours: before Yorick has ghoul stacks or Maiden, your Q-stacked autos and E gap-close punish him hard, and he has no way to answer your raw damage. Trade aggressively and deny his early stacking to start the lane ahead.
