Tryndamere vs Ryze

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your medium early agency and lane pressure to deny Ryze easy scaling by forcing fights when Fury is stacked.
Prioritize splitpush and extended side-lane duels where you can use (R) to turn low-health trades into kills or tower pressure.

Trading pattern

Engage trades only with high Fury and when (W) root is down to prevent being locked down.
Use (E) to gap close only if you can chase Ryze or reset the fight, avoiding forward (E) when he can kite or root you.
Extend fights confidently with (R) to survive Ryze's burst and secure kills or tower damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ryze has (W) root and (E) ready, as he can lock you down and follow with (Q) damage.
Avoid engaging without (R) or when Fury is low, as Ryze's rotation damage and root can punish you heavily.
Watch for Ryze's level 6 (R) map plays; hard push waves and take plates if he roams to avoid losing lane pressure.

Early game

Build Fury safely by farming and controlling the wave to enable strong trades.
Avoid all-ins before level 6 without (R) or sufficient Fury to survive Ryze's root and spell rotations.
Use (W) slow to reduce Ryze's damage in short trades and punish when he wastes (W) root cooldown.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to commit to extended all-ins and force decisive fights; Ryze will try to disengage during this window.
After your two-item spike, increase side-lane pressure and force Ryze to respond, leveraging your crit damage and mobility.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike by playing around his increased sustained damage and root threat.

Win conditions

Build and maintain high Fury to maximize your healing and trading threat against Ryze.
Force extended side-lane fights using (R) to turn low-health trades into kills or tower pressure.
Use your two-item power spike to splitpush aggressively, pulling Ryze away from teamfights and exploiting his weaker dueling early game.
