Yasuo vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (E) to control space and pressure Tryndamere early before he stacks Fury.
Deny Tryndamere calm scaling by forcing short trades near minions to maintain mobility and shield uptime.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Yasuo must leverage early agency to prevent Tryndamere's late-game splitpush threat.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) and dash through minions to engage short trades, committing only when knockup threat is certain.
Punish Tryndamere after he uses (E) forward or when Fury is low to avoid his healing and chase potential.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or minion waves are sparse to prevent being kited or burst down.

Danger windows

Respect Tryndamere's high Fury trades; avoid extended fights when his healing and crit threat peak.
Beware of (E) gap close combined with (W) slow; maintain spacing and save (W) to block key projectiles.
Yasuo is vulnerable when (W) and passive shield are down; avoid trades during these cooldowns to prevent burst damage.

Early game

At level 2, use (Q) plus (E) combo aggressively to trade before Tryndamere builds Fury.
Keep fights close to minions to maximize (E) mobility and maintain passive shield.
Avoid extended trades without (W) available to block Tryndamere's autos and slow.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) combo; use it to force trades that deny Tryndamere wave control.
Level 6 grants (R) for Yasuo; look for airborne knockups to commit all-ins or roams.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) death denial; disengage during its duration and punish cooldown afterward.

Win conditions

Use wave-based trades and (E) mobility to control lane and deny Tryndamere Fury buildup.
Exploit Tryndamere's cooldowns and lack of crowd control to force favorable all-ins after knockups.
Pressure Tryndamere pre-item to prevent his scaling, then increase aggression post-item to snowball lane lead.
