Elise vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank threat and dueling power to snowball lanes before Tryndamere can scale into side-lane pressure.
Prioritize early river control and invade before Tryndamere hits his key scaling breakpoints to deny his free farm and side-lane dominance.

Jungle Plan

Path with early three-camp clears into lanes with priority to snowball through ganks and dives.
Invade Tryndamere's jungle pre-level 6 when lanes can assist to deny his scaling and force resets.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to set up objectives after successful ganks or invades.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when Tryndamere has high Fury and (E) available for chase or escape.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is up, as he can survive lethal damage.
Watch for isolated skirmishes post-invade where Tryndamere can turn fights with his sustain and crit damage.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to leverage Elise's level 3 pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can collapse to secure river control and vision.
Avoid full clears into Tryndamere to prevent losing tempo and counter-invade when he reaches level 6.

Power spikes

Elise's level 3 power spike enables lethal ganks and early dives; use it to force early leads.
Respect Tryndamere's level 6 (R) spike by avoiding forced fights during his death denial window.
Punish Tryndamere when his Fury is low or (E) is spent to force resets or secure kills.

Win conditions

Convert early gank leads into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes that have priority.
Use Elise's strong early dueling and CC to invade and deny Tryndamere's jungle farm before his scaling spikes.
Force cross-map plays and dives before Tryndamere can establish side-lane pressure and extended fights.
