Tryndamere vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Tryndamere's medium early agency and scaling priority to pressure Mordekaiser and deny him a passive lane state.
Focus on splitpush and side-lane duels to leverage Tryndamere's high scaling and death-denial (R) for extended fights.

Trading pattern

Stack Fury before trading and use (E) only when you can chase or reset the fight, avoiding forward (E) when (E) is ready.
Punish Mordekaiser after he wastes (E) or when his (W) shield is down by forcing extended fights.
Use (R) to convert low-health trades into kills or tower pressure, especially when Mordekaiser cannot kite effectively.

Danger windows

Respect (E) pull and (R) isolation combo as a major all-in threat.
Avoid extended trades when (W) shield is active and his passive damage is ticking.
Be cautious when (R) is unavailable, as normal lethal thresholds apply and Mordekaiser's burst can be dangerous.

Early game

Build Fury early by controlling the wave to enable strong short trades before Mordekaiser hits level 6.
Avoid all-ins without Fury or (R) available to prevent being locked down by (E) pull.
Use (W) slow to reduce Mordekaiser's damage output and create safer trading windows before his shield is up.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to force decisive all-ins or tower dives, exploiting Mordekaiser's reliance on isolation.
After two-item spikes, increase side-lane pressure and threaten extended duels where Tryndamere's crit damage and mobility outmatch Mordekaiser.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation and first AP bruiser item spikes by avoiding prolonged trades without (R) or high Fury.

Win conditions

Build and maintain high Fury to control trades and sustain through damage with (Q).
Use (R) windows to force extended duels and tower pressure in side lanes, denying Mordekaiser teamfight impact.
Exploit Mordekaiser's low mobility by chasing with (E) and punishing missed (E) pulls to secure kills or force recalls.
