Question 1

Fight him early

Accepted Answer

Tryndamere wins the early game here: spin in with E and force long extended trades to look for kills and snowball before his armor comes online.

Question 2

Bait his Q poke

Accepted Answer

His Q is his main poke and it drains his mana: heal the chip back with your own Q, keep him shoved in, and he runs his pool dry and misses a lot of farm.

Question 3

Punish empty mana

Accepted Answer

Once his mana is gone he can't poke or clear: keep him pinned and Demolish his turret, using the auto-then-spin-out trade to harass under tower (past 5 minutes).

Question 4

Win on the split

Accepted Answer

Mid-late you often can't kill a full-armor Malphite: shove the wave, make him collect the farm, then use your mobility to out-rotate and flank before he can match you.

Question 5

What should you never do as Tryndamere vs Malphite?

Accepted Answer

Never keep forcing 1v1s on a full-armor Malphite in the mid-late game: you won't have the damage to kill him, so take the split and out-rotate instead.
