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.
Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.
