Tryndamere's jungle plan centers on leveraging his dueling strength and death denial to pressure Master Yi's weaker early game and invade safely.
Prioritize controlling river vision and contesting Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Yi's scaling tempo.
Jungle Plan
Full clear first to maintain tempo, then contest Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide backup.
Look for counter-invade opportunities when Master Yi commits to farming bottom-side camps without vision.
Prioritize early dragon control and use side-lane pressure to force Yi into unfavorable fights or delayed resets.
Danger windows
Early invade attempts without lane priority risk losing tempo to Master Yi's efficient clears and resets.
Isolated river fights before level 6 favor Master Yi if he can dodge key damage with (Q) and sustain with (W).
Objective setups where Master Yi can enter after CC is used are dangerous; avoid engaging first and force fights on your terms.
Early game
Start with a full clear to reach level 4 quickly and prepare for river contest or invade windows.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have clear priority to back up aggressive Scuttle or invade attempts.
Use your (E) mobility to path around and punish Master Yi if he overextends or delays his first clear.
Power spikes
Level 6 (R) unlocks Tryndamere's death denial, enabling him to force extended fights and dives against Yi's lower early dueling power.
Two-item spike greatly increases Tryndamere's crit damage and mobility uptime, enhancing his splitpush threat and dueling potential.
Master Yi's level 6 (R) and first item spike increase his reset and chase threat; respect these windows by avoiding isolated skirmishes without backup.
Win conditions
Convert jungle tempo into early dragon and Rift Herald control by leveraging superior dueling and invade resistance.
Use vision control and lane priority to force Master Yi into inefficient farming paths and deny his scaling.
Exploit (R) windows to force extended side-lane fights or dives, breaking Yi's scaling rhythm and securing objectives.
