Tryndamere vs Pantheon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a scaling splitpush matchup where Tryndamere must manage Pantheon's early burst and stun threat while building Fury for strong duels.
Tryndamere should avoid giving Pantheon passive lane control by contesting early trades carefully and denying empowered ability windows.
Focus on outlasting Pantheon in side-lane duels and using (R) to turn low-health fights into kills or pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Fury is stacked and (W) stun or (E) block is on cooldown to maximize damage and healing.
Use (E) to engage only if you can chase or reset the fight, avoiding forward (E) when Pantheon can kite or stun.
Extend fights with (R) when Pantheon cannot disengage, punishing his cooldowns and low health.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) stun is available as it can start lethal trades.
Avoid all-ins when (E) is up since it blocks your main damage and retaliation.
After Pantheon uses (R) to roam, hard push the wave to punish his absence and take turret plates.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before stacking Fury and reaching level 6 to minimize Pantheon's early burst and stun impact.
Use wave control to build Fury safely and only engage with (E) when (W) stun is down.
Respect Pantheon's empowered (Q) and (W) combo by not committing to trades when these are available.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) is a major spike; use it to force all-ins or dives and punish Pantheon if he tries to disengage during this window.
Two-item power spike greatly increases your splitpush threat; use side-lane pressure to force Pantheon to respond.
Respect Pantheon's level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) combo; avoid trades during this early burst window.

Win conditions

Build Fury and control the wave to enable strong trades and extended fights after level 6 using (R).
Force side-lane duels where you can chase with (E) and convert low-health fights into kills or tower pressure.
Pull pressure to the side lane post two-item spike to force Pantheon to answer, denying him map impact and scaling.
