Pantheon vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Pantheon is an early lane bully who must pressure Tryndamere to deny his scaling and prevent calm farming.
Use high lane pressure and empowered trades to force Tryndamere into defensive play and avoid letting him build Fury safely.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Pantheon aims to snowball early and convert lane dominance into map pressure.

Trading pattern

Use empowered (Q) and (W) stun to start short burst trades and follow up with (E) to block Tryndamere's main retaliation damage.
Punish Tryndamere when his Fury is low and (E) is on cooldown by forcing trades.
Avoid extended fights after using (W) or (E) as your engage becomes predictable and vulnerable.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Tryndamere's Fury is stacked and (E) is off cooldown, as he can chase or all-in.
Avoid trading or engaging when your (E) is down, as Tryndamere's return damage becomes more threatening.
After using (W), your engage is predictable; avoid committing if Tryndamere is ready to counterattack.

Early game

Aggressively trade at level 2-3 using empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to build early health leads.
Avoid using (W) into bad wave states where Tryndamere can punish your engage.
Maintain wave control to crash and roam after level 6, denying Tryndamere safe scaling.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force strong early trades and build lane control.
Level 6: Crash waves and roam with (R) to impact other lanes before Tryndamere can scale.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) death denial and high Fury trades; avoid extended fights when his mobility (E) is up and (R) is available.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing (W) stuns and empowered (Q) trades to deny Tryndamere safe farming and Fury buildup.
Use wave crashes to create roam opportunities with (R) and extend pressure across the map.
Punish Tryndamere's cooldowns and low Fury windows by forcing short trades and disengaging before he can retaliate or use (R).
