Nunu & Willump vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's superior early clear speed and objective control to pressure first dragon and Rift Herald spawns.
Avoid isolated duels with Tryndamere and focus on ganks with (W) angles to create numbers advantages and force enemy responses.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that enables early ganks with (W) and quick objective starts when enemy jungler is on opposite side.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when allied lanes can pressure or counter-gank effectively.
Use vision to deny Tryndamere side-lane pressure by collapsing on him after (E) is used and forcing teamfights around objectives.

Danger windows

Beware Tryndamere's high Fury trades and (E) gap close when isolated or when lanes lack CC to follow up.
Avoid isolated river fights or forced smite contests when (R) is available and enemy lanes lack priority.
Be cautious during low-health clears or after using (Q) if Tryndamere can invade with lane priority or side-lane pressure.

Early game

Full clear quickly using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Use (W) from fog to gank sidelanes and force Tryndamere's jungler to respond or lose objectives.
Avoid invading early if Tryndamere shows on opposite side or if lanes lack priority to support counter-invades.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Rift Herald spawn, use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly after successful ganks.
At level 6, layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to zone enemies and punish those caught in your CC chain.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) death denial window; avoid committing to fights unless you have numbers advantage or can disengage.

Win conditions

Convert successful ganks into immediate dragon or Rift Herald starts to build map leads.
Use (W) angles from fog to create gank pressure and force Tryndamere into unfavorable fights or retreats.
Deny Tryndamere side-lane scaling by collapsing post-(E) and coordinating CC chains to prevent his splitpush impact.
