Tryndamere vs Volibear

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlling jungle tempo to avoid early Volibear dives and counter-invades due to his strong early fighting and high invade resistance.
Focus on scaling through efficient clears and objective control to leverage Tryndamere's late-game side-lane dueling and splitpush strength.

Jungle Plan

Full clear and path to maintain tempo and level advantage before contesting objectives or river control.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide support to avoid risky 1v1 fights against Volibear.
Track Volibear's pathing to anticipate his early dives and be ready to counter-gank or invade when his engage cooldowns are down.

Danger windows

Early levels when Volibear has full ability pattern and can force fights with (Q) stun and second (W) heal.
When (R) is available, respect his tower dive potential and avoid isolated fights near turrets.
Low-health jungle clears or forced smite fights where Volibear's durability and dueling strength can overwhelm you.

Early game

Opt for a fast and healthy first clear to reach level 3 before Volibear can aggressively invade or contest Scuttle.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have clear priority to support counter-ganks against Volibear's high early pressure.
Secure Scuttle Crab only when lane priority and vision ensure you won't be collapsed on by Volibear and his laners.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Tryndamere, enabling death denial to survive Volibear's tower dives and turn fights.
Two-item spike significantly boosts Tryndamere's dueling and splitpush threat, allowing safe side-lane pressure away from Volibear's early skirmishes.
High Fury stacks increase short trade threat, so use these windows to punish Volibear before he can engage with (Q) stun or (R) dive.

Win conditions

Use superior scaling and side-lane pressure to force Volibear to respond, creating map pressure and objective opportunities.
Deny Volibear early jungle tempo by invading after fast clears and exploiting his cooldowns to prevent his early dragon or Rift Herald control.
Convert level 6 and two-item spikes into decisive extended fights or tower dives where (R) and mobility outlast Volibear's engage.
