Optional Summoner Spells

Exhaust

Exhaust

Solid choice in most of the games. Helps against assassins, divers and melee overall. It also lowers your healing output as you do not take Heal. Solid choice overall.

Ignite

Ignite

Offensive option, improves your damage, gives you additional cooldown to use in fights, but reduces your healing output.

Ghost

Ghost

Improves mobility. You can chase, position and flee better. Reduces your healing output, but makes you more agile in fights.

How it works

  1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
  2. You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
  3. You don't even need Support abilities. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell and items.
  4. You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.

Playstyle

  1. ⚔️

    Play aggressively, deal damage and poke to stack Echoes of Helia.

  2. 💫

    Trigger Helia as often as possible with abilities, runes, summoners and items.

  3. 🤝

    Support allies while dealing damage to enemies.

How to play

  1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
  2. Play aggressively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal!

Items

  1. Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
  3. Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.

Buffing your team

  1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
  2. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your abilities, runes and items.

Adaptation

  1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lacks damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
  5. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

Bloodlust
Bloodlust (Q)

  1. Keep auto attacking whenever you can to generate Fury. It increases your critical strike chance and can be consumed with Bloodlust (Q) for healing and sustain.
  2. Keep Fury high. Avoid spending Q until you really need to heal. It increases your damage/crit and sustain.
  3. If you are getting poked hard and you're having trouble safely hitting minions or champions, just use Bloodlust (Q) on cooldown to heal.

Mocking Shout
Mocking Shout (W)

  1. You can use Mocking Shout (W) to detect enemies hiding in the bush or even invisible ones that try to sneak on you, your team or your Nexus!
  2. Players tend to instinctively run when you suddenly appear (especially using Spinning Slash (E)) from a bush or fog of war. Use that reaction to your advantage. Use Mocking Shout (W) as they turn away to apply the AoE slow and reduce their attack damage.
  3. Maxing Mocking Shout (W) might be very viable strategy against full AD comps!

Spinning Slash
Spinning Slash (E)

  1. Tryndamere auto + E trick: when auto attacking, be very close or even go little further. This way you can AA, then Spinning Slash (E) immediately for auto + E dmg.
  2. Spinning Slash (E) + Flash combo. You can use Flash during E animation. To elevate your Tryndamere's game, do it at the very last frame animation. Works in any direction.

Undying Rage
Undying Rage (R)

  1. Use R as late as possible. This might bait enemies to use cooldowns and makes you stay in fight for longer. Also beware who you are playing against - sometimes you need to anticipate big burst coming your way and you need to use R early or get one shoted.
  2. Generally, hold Q during ult. If you need to heal afterwards, make sure to use it after your R ends (unless it is specific situation i.e. you are taking dmg from DoTs or there's flying turret's shot right as your R ends).

Riot

  1. Delaying the activation of Undying Rage is a very effective way to make an enemy champion over-commit to trying to kill you.
  2. Bloodlust is an excellent way to heal Tryndamere. Try not to let it fade off before you activate it.
  3. If the enemy is stacking Armor, try building items like Last Whisper or Youmuu's Ghostblade.
