How to Beat Yorick as Tryndamere (Top)

While statistically Tryndamere is slightly stronger than Yorick in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Tryndamere deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yorick has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.7 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Tryndamere Top versus Yorick Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Tryndamere player to maintain constant pressure on Yorick, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Tryndamere tips:

  • Delaying the activation of Undying Rage is a very effective way to make an enemy champion over-commit to trying to kill you.

  • If the enemy is stacking Armor, try building items like Last Whisper or Youmuu's Ghostblade.
