Tryndamere vs Akali

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your medium early agency to pressure Akali's early trades and deny her calm scaling lane.
Focus on building Fury and controlling the wave to enable extended side-lane fights and splitpush pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Fury is high and (W) shroud is down to punish her vulnerability.
Use (E) to engage only if you can chase or reset the fight, avoiding use when Akali can kite or disengage.
Extend fights with (R) to survive Akali's burst and force her to back off or lose trades.

Danger windows

Respect (W) shroud duration as her safest trading window where she can avoid damage and reposition.
Avoid engaging when (E) recast is available, as it's a major commit point for her burst and mobility.
Be cautious when your (E) is down or (R) unavailable, as Akali can kite or burst you more effectively then.

Early game

Prioritize stacking Fury on minions to prepare for trades after level 3 when Akali gains her combo.
Avoid all-inning without high Fury or (R) available to survive Akali's burst and mobility.
Use (W) slow to reduce Akali's damage and kite potential during early trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to commit to extended fights and convert low-health trades into kills or tower pressure.
After two core items, increase side-lane pressure and force Akali to respond to your splitpush threat.
Respect Akali's level 3 combo with (Q)-(W)-(E) and her level 6 (R) as windows where she can burst or escape effectively.

Win conditions

Build Fury and force extended side-lane duels where you can use (R) to survive Akali's burst and secure kills.
Deny Akali calm scaling by punishing her when (W) is down and forcing trades with high Fury.
Reach your two-item spike to maximize splitpush pressure and force Akali or her team to respond, creating map advantages.
