Warwick vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Warwick should pressure early to deny Tryndamere calm scaling and force extended fights where his sustain and suppression excel.
Control the lane tempo to prevent Tryndamere from freely building Fury and setting up side-lane pressure.
This is a snowball matchup where Warwick aims to outlast and punish low-health targets before Tryndamere hits late-game splitpush power.

Trading pattern

Engage in melee-range extended trades, holding (E) to fear Tryndamere's burst and using (Q) to heal through damage.
Punish Tryndamere after he wastes (E) forward by following with (R) suppression to lock him down.
Use (W) to chase low-health Tryndamere and force unfavorable retreats or kills.

Danger windows

Beware when Tryndamere has high Fury and (R) available; his burst and death denial can turn fights.
Avoid fighting when (E) is on cooldown, as Tryndamere's burst is more effective then.
Respect (E) gap close to prevent being caught out or kited during extended trades.

Early game

Take advantage of Warwick's level 3 power spike to force extended trades using (E) to absorb burst and (Q) for healing.
Use (W) to track Tryndamere when he tries to build Fury or look for engages.
Avoid fighting when (R) is available early; instead, pressure wave control and prepare for all-in once (R) is down.

Power spikes

At level 3, Warwick gains full kit for sustain and fear; use this to force early all-ins and extended fights.
At level 6, (R) unlocks suppress and long engage; bait and lock down Tryndamere when he cannot dodge.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) death denial; avoid committing all-ins during its duration and punish after it expires.

Win conditions

Win by forcing extended melee trades where Warwick's sustain and (E) fear outlast Tryndamere's burst.
Use (R) suppression to pick off low-health Tryndamere or punish overextensions after he wastes (E) or (R).
Deny Tryndamere Fury buildup and wave control to limit his splitpush threat and snowball lane dominance.
