Tryndamere vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Tryndamere's stronger early dueling and mobility to pressure Amumu's slower clears and low invade resistance.
Control river Scuttle and early camps to deny Amumu tempo and force him into defensive pathing.

Jungle Plan

Start with a three-camp clear toward lanes with CC to maximize gank threat and counter Amumu's engage angles.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and deny Amumu vision.
Invade early when Amumu's camps are unprotected, especially before his level 6 spike, to exploit his weak invade resistance.

Danger windows

Respect Amumu's level 3-6 window when his (Q) engage and (R) lockdown can turn isolated river fights lethal.
Avoid low-health clears where forced smite fights favor Amumu's objective control.
Do not contest objectives without lane priority or vision, as Amumu's engage punishes overextensions.

Early game

Execute a fast first clear to hit level 3 before Amumu and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid extended river fights without lane support to counter Amumu's (Q) engage.
Place vision on jungle entrances to track Amumu and prevent surprise invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants death denial, enabling forced committed fights Amumu struggles to disengage.
Two-item spike boosts splitpush threat, forcing enemy responses and opening objective pressure.
High Fury trades increase short trade threat and healing, letting you punish Amumu's limited early dueling and mobility.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into consistent counter-jungling to deny Amumu farm and delay his teamfight scaling.
Use superior gank threat and mobility to pressure lanes and force Amumu into defensive pathing.
Leverage side-lane pressure and splitpush after two-item spikes to pull enemy attention and secure dragons or Rift Herald uncontested.
