How to play

General
  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  3. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  4. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Delaying the activation of Undying Rage is a very effective way to make an enemy champion over-commit to trying to kill you.
  2. Bloodlust is an excellent way to heal Tryndamere. Try not to let it fade off before you activate it.
  3. If the enemy is stacking Armor, try building items like Last Whisper or Youmuu's Ghostblade.
