Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Lightning Strikes

    Gold

    Gain 20% total Attack Speed.

    Why on Tryndamere

    Extra attack speed fills Battle Fury (passive) faster and lands more crits, each cutting the cooldown of Spinning Slash (E), so you chase and reposition more often.

  2. Dual Wield

    Prismatic

    Gain 20% total Attack Speed.

    Why on Tryndamere

    More attacks per second build Fury for Battle Fury (passive) quicker, raising your crit chance sooner and giving Bloodlust (Q) more Fury to heal from.

  3. Symphony of War

    Prismatic

    Gain the Lethal Tempo and Conqueror Keystone Runes.

    Why on Tryndamere

    Lethal Tempo and Conqueror both ramp up over long fights, and Undying Rage (R) keeps you alive long enough to reach full stacks while you keep attacking.
