Tryndamere vs Briar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Control early river Scuttles to limit Briar's engage and secure safer objective setups.
Leverage (R) death denial to survive Briar's sticky (Q) stun and (R) fear during extended skirmishes.
Prioritize clean clears and scaling to outpace Briar's mid-game dive and skirmish threat.

Jungle Plan

Secure river vision and Scuttle control to deny Briar safe access to early fights and force her into reactive play.
Use faster clear tempo to invade Briar's jungle when her engage cooldowns are down and lanes can assist.
Set up dragon and Rift Herald fights when lane priority is secured and (R) is available to survive extended skirmishes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early when Briar's (Q) stun and (R) fear can lock you down before (R) uptime.
Be cautious during low-health clears without (R), as Briar can force smite fights and punish vulnerability.
Respect Briar's mobility and crowd control cooldowns; do not overextend without vision or lane priority support.

Early game

Full clear first to reach level 3 quickly and avoid early isolated fights where Briar punishes.
Contest first Scuttle only with nearby lane priority to enable counter-ganks against Briar's aggression.
Avoid early invades without vision and lane priority to prevent Briar's punish on failed commits.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks death denial, enabling forced all-ins and survival through Briar's dive attempts.
Two-item spike boosts dueling and splitpush threat, forcing Briar to respond and opening map control.
High Fury stacks increase short trade damage and healing, allowing aggressive punishment of Briar's cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear tempo and objective control into securing dragons and Rift Herald to pressure Briar's jungle and lanes.
Use (R) windows to commit to extended fights, outlasting Briar's burst and forcing her off key objectives.
Leverage two-item splitpush pressure to force Briar to answer side lanes, enabling your team to control vision and objectives.
