Tryndamere vs Hecarim

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use jungle tempo and vision to control river and contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Hecarim's high mobility ganks.
Prioritize counter-ganking and punishing Hecarim's early overextensions since he values farming tempo but can be collapsed on.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears with tempo resets before major objectives to maintain pace and vision control.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can move first to deny Hecarim's gank angles.
Track Hecarim's pathing and counter-gank his early ganks to leverage your dueling and scaling advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early when Hecarim's speed and (E) charge can catch you off-guard.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision as Hecarim can force smite fights with his ultimate fear.
Low-health clears are risky since Hecarim can capitalize on your vulnerability with his high mobility and engage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to match Hecarim's fast clear speed and avoid early invade risks.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority to prevent Hecarim from snowballing ganks.
Avoid early river fights unless you have vision and lane support to counter-gank Hecarim's speed engages.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for death denial, enabling committed fights where you can outlast Hecarim's engage.
Two-item spike significantly increases your crit damage and mobility, amplifying your splitpush and dueling threat.
High Fury stacks boost your short trade potential and healing, allowing you to punish Hecarim when his disengage is down.

Win conditions

Use superior scaling and death denial (R) to win extended duels and force Hecarim off side objectives.
Convert counter-ganks and vision control into dragon and Rift Herald takes to snowball your lead.
Leverage lane priority and tracking to invade Hecarim's jungle safely and deny his tempo and farm.
