Tryndamere vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a side-lane splitpush matchup where Tryndamere must pressure Sion to deny his safe scaling and wave control.
Tryndamere has medium early agency and lane pressure, aiming to force fights after stacking Fury and using (R) to extend trades.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively only when Fury is stacked and (W) shield is down to maximize healing and damage.
Punish Sion after he wastes his (E) slow or misses (Q) knockup by using (E) to chase and (R) to commit.
Avoid initiating trades when (R) is unavailable or (E) is used forward into potential crowd control or disengage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) is charged from fog or brush, as it can knock you up and set up heavy damage.
Respect (R) engage window, especially when he has a clear path to initiate.
Avoid extended fights when your Fury is low or (R) is down, as you lose your death denial and sustain advantage.

Early game

Focus on building Fury early to enable strong short trades and avoid all-ins before (R).
Avoid engaging when (E) is on cooldown or Fury is low to prevent being kited or punished.
Use (W) slow to reduce Sion's damage output and create safer trade windows before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to force extended all-ins or dives, turning low-health trades in your favor.
After acquiring two core items, leverage increased crit damage and mobility to pressure towers and force Sion to respond.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and charged (Q) knockup angles; sidestep or disengage to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Build and maintain high Fury to enable strong trades and healing; use (E) to engage only when you can chase or reset.
Use (R) to convert low-health fights into kills or tower pressure, forcing Sion to answer side-lane threats.
Exploit Sion's low mobility and telegraphed engages by dodging (Q) and (R) to create favorable duels and splitpush opportunities.
