How to win lane as Tryndamere against Zac · 52.53% win rate over 750 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Level 1 is yours because Q-stacked autos out-pressure his weak early before blob sustain exists. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as his passive blobs and Q start letting him heal through trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even since his full Q and E kit lets him poke and refill health. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zac | Levels 4-5 favour Zac because full blob sustain lets him win extended trades. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Level 6 flips to you: R is only an engage tool while your Undying Rage wins the all-in. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item you out-damage his regen with crit and lifesteal once his Q and E are down. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With 2+ items your R and crit uptime win the straight sidelane duel outright. |
Level 1 is yours: before Zac has his full kit and blob-passive sustain, your Q-stacked autos out-pressure his short-range Q pokes. Trade early and deny him free stacking. From L2 on he starts refilling health, so make your damage count while he's still fragile.
