Tryndamere vs Nasus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize denying Nasus early stacks by invading or counter-jungling before he scales.
Use Tryndamere's superior mobility and healing to pressure jungle camps and force Nasus into reactive pathing.

Jungle Plan

Opt for aggressive pathing that pressures Nasus's jungle camps before he stacks significant (Q) damage.
Contest Scuttle only if adjacent lanes can assist or have priority to avoid 2v2 disadvantages.
Prioritize early dragon vision and objective control to leverage Tryndamere's skirmishing and objective pressure over Nasus's slower scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Nasus can use (W) slow and (R) durability to outlast you.
Be cautious fighting Nasus post-level 6 with high (Q) stacks as his sustained damage and slow punish overcommitment.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives are risky if Nasus has lane priority or numbers advantage.

Early game

Start with a fast clear to reach level 3 quickly and contest first Scuttle crab when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid direct 1v1 fights early unless Nasus is low health or caught out, as his sustain and slow make early duels risky.
Use river vision to track Nasus's path and counter-gank or invade when his cooldowns or mobility are down.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Tryndamere to survive extended fights and force all-ins before Nasus's stacks peak.
Two-item power spike significantly boosts Tryndamere's damage and mobility, allowing deeper splitpush and objective pressure.
Nasus's major spikes at level 6 and high (Q) stacks require Tryndamere to deny farm and force fights before these thresholds.

Win conditions

Use early jungle tempo and mobility to deny Nasus's stacking by invading and counter-jungling camps.
Leverage (R) windows to force decisive fights or dives before Nasus reaches his scaling breakpoints.
Convert side-lane pressure and objective control into dragon and Herald advantages to snowball the map lead and prevent Nasus from scaling safely.
