Tryndamere vs Kindred

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize early Scuttle control and river vision to contest Kindred's mark spawns and limit her scaling potential.
Use Tryndamere's dueling strength and death-denial (R) to punish Kindred's medium invade resistance and force favorable skirmishes.
Focus on split jungle tempo to deny Kindred access to marks and scale faster with side-lane pressure and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure early marks only when nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Contest first Scuttle aggressively if your lanes have priority to deny Kindred her early scaling marks.
Prioritize vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force Kindred into unfavorable fights or to delay her objective control.

Danger windows

Early invade attempts before level 3 are risky due to Kindred's high early pressure and mobility (Q).
Isolated river fights without lane priority or vision can lead to lethal trades or forced smite contests.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights against Kindred's ranged damage and (R) reset can quickly turn against you.

Early game

Start full clear with a focus on hitting level 3 quickly to contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river fights unless you have lane priority or vision advantage, as Kindred can kite and reset fights with (R).
Use your mobility (E) to secure camps safely and counter-invade when Kindred commits to marks without escape routes.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) death denial, allowing Tryndamere to force extended fights and survive Kindred's execute attempts.
Two-item spike significantly increases Tryndamere's dueling and splitpush threat, enabling objective pressure before Kindred scales fully.
High Fury stacks amplify short trades and healing, letting you punish Kindred when she overextends or mispositions.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objective control by securing early Scuttle and dragon with lane priority and vision dominance.
Use (R) windows to force all-ins on Kindred during low-health skirmishes to deny her scaling marks.
Leverage superior dueling and splitpush power to pressure side lanes and force Kindred to respond, opening map control and objective opportunities.
