Tryndamere vs Lee Sin

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

This jungle matchup favors Tryndamere's scaling and side-lane pressure over Lee Sin's early river skirmishes.
Manage early river control carefully by avoiding Lee Sin's level 3 invade and punishing cooldowns after his engage attempts.

Jungle Plan

Path for a three-camp clear into Scuttle crab when lanes can assist to contest river control.
Invade Lee Sin's jungle only after he commits to a full clear or wastes (Q) and (R) cooldowns.
Use side-lane pressure to force enemy responses, then counter-jungle or secure Rift Herald and dragon when Lee Sin is occupied elsewhere.

Danger windows

Lee Sin's level 3 invade window is highly dangerous; avoid isolated river fights before securing vision and lane priority.
Post-clear low health states expose Tryndamere to Lee Sin's burst and displacement; reset or retreat after full clears.
Forced smite fights around early dragon or Herald can be risky if Lee Sin has better positioning or cooldown advantage.

Early game

Prioritize a fast first clear to hit level 3 quickly and build Fury stacks for stronger dueling.
Avoid early river fights unless your nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks or invades.
Contest Scuttle only with vision control and lane priority to prevent Lee Sin from snowballing early pressure.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), allowing Tryndamere to survive extended fights and force all-ins against Lee Sin's burst.
Two-item critical strike spike greatly enhances splitpush threat, forcing Lee Sin to respond or lose map control.
High Fury stacks boost short trades and healing, enabling aggressive punishment of Lee Sin's cooldown windows.

Win conditions

Convert Fury and (R) windows into side-lane duels to force Lee Sin to respond and create map pressure.
Use superior scaling and splitpush threat to secure Rift Herald and dragon uncontested when Lee Sin is occupied.
Track Lee Sin's pathing to counter-gank effectively and deny his early invade attempts, maintaining tempo and objective control.
