Master Yi vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and item tempo over early fights; avoid early river contests unless lanes have priority.
Focus on scaling through efficient farming and look for skirmishes only after enemy CC is committed.
This is a scaling carry vs. splitpush duelist matchup; manage tempo to reach late-game carry power.

Jungle Plan

Clear camps efficiently and prioritize cross-map pathing to maintain tempo and avoid early duels.
Fight for Scuttle Crab and dragon only when lanes can assist or Tryndamere is on the opposite side of the map.
Track Tryndamere's position to counter-gank his early pressure and punish his cooldowns post-(E) usage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Tryndamere can use (E) to engage and (R) to survive lethal damage.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Tryndamere's all-in threat spikes.
Respect lanes without priority that allow Tryndamere to collapse first or force extended duels under (R).

Early game

Start full clear to reach level 6 and first item spikes quickly without risking early invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and Tryndamere is not nearby to counter-invade.
Avoid early river fights and invades where (E) and (R) can turn the tide.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase reset targets after enemy CC is used; avoid entering fights before this.
First item spike grants sustained damage and objective speed; maintain camp tempo to reach this quickly.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) window and high Fury trades; avoid fights when his (R) or (E) are available.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed to reach item spikes faster and punish Tryndamere's early jungle pressure.
Counter-gank effectively when Tryndamere commits with (E) and (R), then clean up resets with (Q) and (R).
Control dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority to deny Tryndamere solo objective pressure and force team fights where you excel.
