Build Phantom Dancer and Infinity Edge first on Baron lane Tryndamere in League of Legends: Wild Rift to combine attack speed, movement speed, and critical strike damage with his Battle Fury passive. Pair this core setup with Lethal Tempo and full Fury before starting early lane trades.
Core Item Build
Tryndamere's passive, Battle Fury, converts stored Fury into bonus critical strike chance. Building early critical strike items lets him reach 100% critical strike chance faster while increasing how often critical hits reduce the cooldown of his dash.
| Slot / Role | Item Choice | Supported Function |
|---|---|---|
| First Core | Phantom Dancer | Grants attack speed, critical strike chance, and movement speed on auto-attacks to prevent kiting. |
| Second Core | Infinity Edge | Adds raw attack damage and amplifies critical strike damage. |
| Sustain / On-Hit | Blade of the Ruined King | Provides percentage-current-health damage, attack speed, and lifesteal against durable tanks and juggernauts. |
| Fourth Item (Anti-Tank) | Mortal Reminder or Terminus | Cuts through high armor; use Mortal Reminder when you need Grievous Wounds to reduce enemy healing. |
| Boots | Gluttonous Greaves or Plated Steelcaps | Choose Gluttonous Greaves for lifesteal sustain or Plated Steelcaps for defensive utility. |
| Enchant | Stasis or Quicksilver | Prevents burst or removes crowd control before you activate Undying Rage. |
Rune Setup
Lethal Tempo and Conqueror both work as keystones, with Lethal Tempo prioritized for its stacking attack speed. More attack speed increases your overall DPS and triggers more critical strikes, which lowers the cooldown of Spinning Slash.
- Triumph or Brutal: Enhances kill pressure and restores missing health on takedowns to help you survive after your ultimate ends.
- Last Stand: Grants bonus damage while fighting at low health, which directly benefits Tryndamere while Undying Rage holds him at his minimum health threshold.
- Legend: Alacrity or Legend: Tenacity: Pick Alacrity for extra attack speed scaling, or switch to Tenacity against enemy teams with heavy stuns and slows.
- Bone Plating or Second Wind: Take Bone Plating to reduce early burst damage or Second Wind to recover health against ranged poke matchups.
Baron Lane Fury Trades and Ultimate Timing
Tryndamere is vulnerable to early burst combos at zero Fury, so build your Fury bar on the minion wave before fighting the enemy laner. Follow this sequence during lane trades and all-ins:
- Auto-attack minions until your Fury bar approaches maximum before looking for an aggressive trade.
- Cast Spinning Slash (E) offensively only after the opponent wastes a key ability or when you have vision of the enemy jungler.
- Use Mocking Shout (W) when the target tries to disengage to reduce their attack damage and apply a movement speed slow if they are facing away from you.
- Hold Bloodlust (Q) during active combat because casting it consumes all stored Fury and removes your critical strike bonus; use it to heal only between waves or after backing off.
- Activate Undying Rage (R) right as incoming burst drops you to critical health, rather than too early or while exposed to silence effects, and keep attacking to maximize Last Stand damage.
- Cast Bloodlust (Q) just as Undying Rage expires to heal, then use Spinning Slash over a terrain wall if you need to escape collapsing enemies.
Side-Lane Split-Pushing
Play Tryndamere as a side-lane split-pusher rather than a front-to-back teamfight initiator. Place deep vision in the adjacent enemy jungle before pushing past the river:
- Against a single defender: Use your item lead and Undying Rage to dive the enemy under their turret and take the structure.
- Against two or more defenders: Fall back immediately by spinning over jungle walls, allowing your teammates to secure Dragon or Baron Nashor on the opposite side of the map.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
