Amumu vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears and avoid early fights without lane priority due to low dueling strength and invade resistance.
Use your strong crowd control and teamfight lockdown to convert level 6 into objective control and grouped fights.
Focus on river control and objective setup rather than early invades against Tryndamere's dueling and mobility.

Jungle Plan

Secure first Scuttle only when nearby lanes can move first to contest safely.
Prioritize pathing that supports ganks on lanes with crowd control to maximize (Q) engage follow-up.
Use level 6 power spike to force dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs fights leveraging your (R) area lockdown.

Danger windows

Beware of Tryndamere's high Fury trades and (R) death denial which make him lethal in isolated fights.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Tryndamere can capitalize on his dueling strength.
Do not contest river objectives without lane priority as Tryndamere's mobility and side-lane pressure can isolate you.

Early game

Opt for a full clear or three-camp clear toward a lane with crowd control to enable effective ganks.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority to prevent getting outdueled by Tryndamere.
Use defensive wards at jungle entrances to protect against Tryndamere's early invades and track his pathing.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights and objective control, capitalizing on your teamfight strength.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) window where he can commit to extended fights; avoid isolated skirmishes during this time.
Exploit Tryndamere's lack of reliable disengage after he uses (E) by counter-ganking or collapsing with your crowd control.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by avoiding unfavorable fights and maintaining vision control.
Use your (Q) and (R) crowd control to force grouped fights around objectives, denying Tryndamere's splitpush advantage.
Control dragon and Rift Herald through objective setup and counter-ganking to leverage your teamfight and lockdown potential.
