Shyvana vs Tryndamere

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shyvana's strength lies in fast clears and dragon control, so prioritize scaling through objective trades over early fights.
Avoid early river skirmishes without lane priority, as Tryndamere's dueling and all-in threat spikes with Fury and (R).
Use your dragon form and item power spikes to dominate mid-game teamfights and secure sustained objective control.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and path towards dragon when bot and mid lane priority allow safe objective setups.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes can pressure Tryndamere or counter-gank effectively.
Use superior clear speed to trade camps and objectives rather than forcing early ganks that lack reliable CC.

Danger windows

Respect Tryndamere's early high Fury window and (E) availability for aggressive chases or resets.
Avoid isolated river fights before securing vision and lane priority to prevent being caught by Tryndamere's all-in potential.
Be cautious around forced smite fights on dragon if (R) is available, as his death denial can swing outcomes.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize tempo and reach dragon form quickly before contesting objectives.
Contest first Scuttle only if bot and mid lanes have priority to avoid risky early fights.
Avoid early invades against Tryndamere without fury or lane support, as his dueling strength can punish isolated clears.

Power spikes

Shyvana's dragon form and item spikes enable mid-game fights where sustained damage controls objectives.
Tryndamere's level 6 (R) spike demands avoiding extended fights without lane priority or cooldown advantage.
Tryndamere's high Fury trades increase his burst and sustain, so punish his Fury expenditure windows to deny pressure.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and dragon control into mid-game teamfight dominance using dragon form and item power spikes.
Use vision and lane priority to deny Tryndamere safe side-lane duels and contest Rift Herald or Void Grubs.
Leverage superior objective control and scaling to force grouped fights where Shyvana's sustained damage outperforms Tryndamere's splitpush threat.
