Why this duo works
Tryndamere jungle's ganks lack hard crowd control, so he relies on his laners to hold targets in place. Lux's long-range root gives him time to close with Spinning Slash(E) and get into attack range; Tryndamere players specifically call out laner-provided hard CC as the key to making his ganks work.
Playing the duo
Lux's Light Binding(Q) gives Tryndamere the hard crowd control his jungle kit lacks; his Spinning Slash(E) closes distance, while Mocking Shout(W) slows targets who turn away.
How to play as Tryndamere
Coordinate with Lux before entering her lane and let her Q root start the gank; then close with Spinning Slash(E) and save Mocking Shout(W) to slow the target if they turn to escape.
How to play as Lux
When Tryndamere sets up a gank, hold Light Binding(Q) until you have a clear line on the target; a landed root supplies the hard CC his jungle ganks need and gives him time to close with E.
