Guide to Countering Garen as Tryndamere

Tips for Playing as Tryndamere against Garen

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.

Bloodlust is an excellent way to heal Tryndamere. Try not to let it fade off before you activate it.

Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.

Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.

Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.

Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
