Poppy vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's strong early invade and anti-dash tools to contest Tryndamere's jungle tempo and deny his scaling opportunities.
Prioritize river control and objective setup to leverage Poppy's superior dueling and objective control against Tryndamere's splitpush threat.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes where terrain enables (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to deny (E) gap close.
Invade Tryndamere early when nearby lanes have priority to punish his lower early clear speed.
Use (R) to disrupt enemy objective attempts and reset bad fights, especially during dragon or Rift Herald contests.

Danger windows

Respect Tryndamere's high Fury and (R) availability when he can force extended duels and ignore lethal damage.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision where Tryndamere can use (E) to engage or escape.
Be cautious contesting objectives if (E) is up and lanes lack priority to collapse on him.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to pressure Tryndamere before he stacks Fury.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can collapse and terrain allows reliable (E) wall stuns.
Avoid extended fights without terrain control where Tryndamere can use (E) to escape or chase.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to remove Tryndamere from fights or disengage his all-ins before they start.
After first tank item, hold (W) to block (E) and sustain through his crit damage.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) death denial window by forcing decisive fights or disengaging until it expires.

Win conditions

Convert early invade and terrain control into denying Tryndamere free farm and scaling.
Use (E) and (W) to lock Tryndamere down during ganks and counter-ganks, leveraging terrain for kills.
Control dragon and Rift Herald fights with (R) to force favorable teamfights and limit Tryndamere's splitpush impact.
