Just picked up Tryndamere in Wild Rift and in need of a few pointers? Read on for our guide on the Barbarian King and you'll be a master of the toplane in no time.
Runes
Tryndamere already has very strong base damage. Fleet Footwork provides you with some much needed extra mobility and sustain, making it so that enemies will struggle to get away from you.
In red, Triumph works wonders with Tryndamere as it allows you to diver and play at the very limits of what this champion can do.
Spirit Walker provides you with a +20% resistance to slows, a fantastic addition that helps you prevent yourself from being kited by the enemy team.
In blue, Mastermind allows lets you profit off of pushing down towers. Just remember to really go all in on your lane and not get distracted helping out your teammates elsewhere on the map!
Skills
Here's the optimal skill order for Tryndamere. Max out his abilities in the order outlined below, putting points in your ultimate whenever you can.

Tips and Tricks
- Undying Rage gives you the opportunity of diving enemies under towers to finish them off. When your health is totally depleted, get close to your target, then use Spinning Slash to not only finish off your target, but also escape the tower's range before your ultimate runs out.
- Use Bloodlust after long, drawn-out trades or dives, when you've built up tons of fury.
