How to play Tryndamere in ARAM Mayhem

Tryndamere is a strong pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier A, #41 of 173 champions, with a 51.4% win rate over 1,516,904 games.

89% of Tryndamere's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It soaks 54,195 damage per game and mitigates another 69,256, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't.

The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Blade of The Ruined King, Phantom Dancer and Infinity Edge, with a 52.8% win rate over 712,987 games. For boots, Berserker's Greaves are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Tryndamere are Ultra Hydra, Still Here and Scopiest Weapons. Cards built around attack speed and on-hit fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Bread And Butter and Archmage when you can: they do worst on Tryndamere. A pair to look for: Scopiest Weapons with Still Here.

Take Flash and Mark (82% of players). Max Q (Bloodlust) first, then E, then W.
