Imperial Mandate Tryndamere Build

General

1. You play as a Slow Tank - slowing enemies, disrupting fights and soaking damage.
2. Your only core item is Imperial Mandate. Then you go tanky and adapt.
3. Your game is about disrupting fights, being annoying, Slowing/Healing/Buffing and soaking damage.

Champion

1. Another name for this build is Warcry Tryndamere - you'll be screaming so hard, it actually damages your enemies.

General

1. Invoke chaos in teamfights. Run around fights. Slow enemies. Run into them. Get focused and escape.

Items

1. Your core item is Imperial Mandate. That's pretty much all you need, then you can go tanky/damage. Or you can get further Imperial Mandate items:
• Zeke's Convergence - when you ult, you AoE slow. Very good for engaging and applying Imperial Mandate.
• Randuin's Omen - very good for engagements, you go in and AoE slow whole team.
2. Or you can just go tanky
3. You can go some support items as well in some cases, like Ardent Censer if you got a lot of auto attackers on your team.

Runes

1. Remember that you need to keep close to your allies to trigger Guardian.
2. Your slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing damage of your allies.
3. Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer. So you can go these items if you want to be a support.

Game

1. Don't be afraid to engage! You can get Randuin's Omen and Zeke's Convergence for really powerful engagements with AoE slow!
• Helping this pattern of engage is Warmog's Armor. Engage, sow chaos, soak some damage and get back to heal fully.
2. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

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 (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 (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 (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.
