Shaco vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shaco's early-game deception and high clear speed to pressure Tryndamere before he scales.
Focus on controlling river entrances with boxes to secure dragon and counter Tryndamere's side-lane pressure.
Prioritize early tempo and objective control to prevent Tryndamere from reaching his late-game splitpush power.

Jungle Plan

Use unpredictable early paths and invisibility (Q) to create pressure through camp steals and unexpected ganks before Tryndamere can safely scale.
Control river entrances with boxes before dragon or Void Grubs to deny Tryndamere's side-lane rotations and objective access.
Counter-jungle when Tryndamere is visible on side lanes or after he uses (E) to chase, exploiting his reduced mobility and cooldowns.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when Tryndamere has stacked Fury and (E) available, as his chase and all-in threat peaks.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is up, as he can survive lethal damage and turn fights.
Low-health clears without box protection expose Shaco to counter-invades or forced smite fights favoring Tryndamere's dueling.

Early game

Start with a box setup for a fast and healthy first clear to hit level 3 quickly and enable early ganks or invades.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky 1v1s against Tryndamere's dueling.
Avoid predictable paths once Tryndamere tracks your box placements to maintain surprise and invade safety.

Power spikes

Level 2 and 3 power spikes enable Shaco to threaten early ganks and invades before (R) is available.
Tryndamere's level 6 (R) spike demands Shaco avoid direct fights and instead focus on objective control and indirect pressure.
Shaco's high clear speed and trap control create mid-game windows to deny Tryndamere's scaling by stealing camps and forcing resets.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and camp control into dragon and Rift Herald dominance by securing vision and denying Tryndamere's side-lane pressure.
Use invisibility (Q) and box setups to create chaos and pickoffs, preventing Tryndamere from safely farming or splitpushing.
Maintain river and objective control to force Tryndamere into unfavorable fights or to delay his scaling window.
