Cho'Gath vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and use (Q) and (W) to control Tryndamere's space and limit his Fury buildup.
Accept medium lane pressure but avoid giving Tryndamere free scaling or extended trades before you scale.
This is a scale-versus-splitpush matchup where Cho'Gath must survive early pressure and outlast Tryndamere's all-ins.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q) knockups on Tryndamere’s predictable minion movement, then follow with (W) silence to disrupt his trades.
Punish Tryndamere immediately after he uses (E) to chase or (R) to expire by stepping forward with short trades.
Avoid missing (Q) as it significantly reduces your threat and opens you to his extended trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Tryndamere has full Fury and (R) available; his all-in threat peaks during these windows.
Avoid extended trades when your (Q) or (W) are on cooldown, as Tryndamere can exploit reduced crowd control.
Watch for Tryndamere’s (E) usage; after it’s spent, you can safely trade or force fights.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting safely and use (Q) to punish Tryndamere when he last-hits near your zone.
Avoid long trades before level 6 when Tryndamere’s (R) is unavailable and your (R) execute is not online.
Use passive sustain to outlast poke and avoid letting Tryndamere build Fury freely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to secure kills or objectives and force Tryndamere to respect your execute range.
After multiple (R) stacks, leverage your increased durability to front line and zone Tryndamere in teamfights.
Respect Tryndamere’s level 6 (R) and high Fury trades by avoiding extended fights when his cooldowns are up.

Win conditions

Use (Q) and (W) to control Tryndamere’s movement and deny Fury buildup to reduce his all-in potential.
Survive early lane pressure with passive sustain and scale into a durable front line with multiple (R) stacks.
Leverage your execute (R) on low-health targets and control objectives to win fights and team engagements.
