Intro
Hello, I am Fluoride, a masters Tryndamere top and mid player on the North American server. This is a simple Tryndamere guide that will tell you the optimal runes, summoners, skill path, and build.
Runes
These are the optimal runes for Tryndamere. Take unflinching against lots of CC, and revitalize into heavy poke lanes.
- Standard
- Heavy Poke Lane
















































Summoner Spells
Always take flash ghost on Tryndamere. These mobility summoners allow Tryndamere to stick on enemy champs and maximize his damage.
- Summoners
Skill Path
Normally, you put 2 points in Q before W, as Q gives you more sustain and damage. However, if your jungler is going to gank for you, level W first so you can run the enemy laner down.
Do not put points additional points into Tryndamere ult, as the only benefit it provides is lowering the cooldown by 20 seconds.

Item Builds
Use the "/Items & Spells" module to guide a reader through item purchases across every stage of the game, from starting items to full and situational builds. Use "+" to create custom sets depending on the matchup, role, and team comp.
- Standard Build
Against Melee champions, you will be able to autoattack them often, so the damage from Kraken Slayer is very valuable. Addionally, you will be able to ramp the phanton dancer passive making it extremely efficient. Navori Quickblades is better than Infinity edge, as it allows for many more spins.
Against Ranged champions, it's better to go galeforce into zeal, and then finish the Navori. This setup will give you the maximum sticking potential, ensuring you are able to get your auto attacks off.
Midlane, Ravenous Hydra can be a good rush item, allowing you to instantly shove waves and look for roams around the map.
